[Ifeffit] Errors from Webatoms?

Feng,

Attached is a CIF file for alpha-SiO2 with the same space group (P3121) that you are attempting to use.  The major difference that I see in this file compared with your input file is the Si location (0.465 0 1/3) vs. (-.465 .465 1/3).  I am no crystallographer so I cannot tell you if a shift vector would make these equal, but this CIF file imports directly into Artemis and does give a 4-coordinate Si-O.
