Hello,
I'm currently dealing with an old input file which uses BOX definitions
and came across the following issue, which is not really clear to me.
According to the manual the user has to define an origin of the box + 3
vectors for height, width & length. Furthermore, it's a requirement that
the user ensures perpendicularity of those vectors. However, nothing is
stated with respect to the orientation of the basis generated by those
vectors. I'm not sure whether it is a requirement that they form a
right-handed coordinate system and what is the effect if a left-handed
system is (accidentally) supplied? Probably somebody could shed some
light on this issue.
Thanks in advance
Chris
