That's a good idea!
What I have also done in the past is use the
distance<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.9/ug/node55.html#SECTION000132250000000000000>
colvar
with a dummy atom at the origin (as the ref group).
Another option is to run your simulations in shorter parts, pick the
desired atoms from the dcd using VMD or catDCD and delete the original
large dcd.
