Hi!

I created a CNT using Nanotube builder plug-in of VMD (version 1.9.3) of
dimension (5,10). I created pdb and pdf files by typing

set x [atomselect 0 "all"]
$x writepdb cnt.pdb
$x writepsf cnt.psf

The psf and pdb files were successfully created. I wanted to merge this
with a protein file, so I used Merge Structures plug in to which I got an
error message as shown below:

*MOLECULE DESTROYED BY FATAL ERROR! Use resetpsf to start over.MOLECULE

(procedure "::MergeStructs::guiMergeConflictsResolved" line 6) invoked

Please help me resolve this.
