I don't suppose there is a way to turn off the rotation after selecting the Minimization Box option in QwikMD?
I get this in the VMD log after I click prepare in QwikMD:
"The system was rotated by 360.0 degrees around Z axis and 350.0 degrees around X axis."
I don't want it rotated around the x or y axes...

Do you create the bilayer with QwikMD? When creating the bilayer, the "Minimal Box" option should be blocked. Is this not the case?

Something I haven't observed with QwikMD is occurring. I us QwikMD to set up the multiple windows I need for my ABF simulation. I create 16 windows where my ligand goes from bulk water on the N-terminus of my bilayer embedded protein, through the protein, and to the C-terminus bulk water. When I use QwikMD to create the solvated bilayer/protein/ligand system on the N-terminus side in bulk water (about 15 angstroms from the bilayer/protein), my bilayer/protein remains perpendicular to the z-axis, which is what I want. My reaction coordinate is along the z-coordinate. However, when I do this at the C-terminus bulk water side (about 15 angstroms into bulk water), QwikMD flips my bilayer/protein/ligand system to be perpendicular to the y-axis. This, I assume, creates problems with calculating a PMF when all of my other windows are perpendicular to the z-axis...I do select Minimal Box and 12 angstrom buffer for all of my windows. Why would QwikMD flip my system like this on the C-terminus bulk water end but not the other end?
