    The coordinates for Pb in http://www.cryst.ehu.es are : (1/2,0,z) (0,1/2,-z) . Our instructor in the video said that the undefined coordinates can be set between [0,1] . So does that mean that I can choose whatever number I want between that interval. Can I for example put for the Pb coordinates (1/2,0,1/10) (0,1/2,2/10) and the material will still be Litharge? I don`t find that logic. Can anyone explain to me how to choose those undefined coordinates please.

    Are you sure those are not just generic coordinates for one group? Because in that case it means that whatever the value of z, the crystal will still have the symmetry of that group.
    Sorry, the Bilbao server is down at the moment so I can’t check.
