Hi Elia,
periodic boundary conditions will only be taken into account if you use
pbwithin instead of within in your atom selection text -- this is simply
the proper way to use the vmd atom selection language. Please let me
know if you still have difficulty after fixing your atom selection text.
Best,
Peter
