I wish to shift a row of atoms (same y,z coordinates for each atom , only x varies) by some given offset in x direction. I do it manually by selecting each atom and applying x shift within "structure parameters".
However when I apply the offset to an atom nearest to the boundary wall, it comes around, probably due to periodic condition. I aim to bend the boundary wall(if i can say so) such that i have a dislocation defect. Can I do that in VESTA?


I am attaching an image of what i aim to do. Any help is appreciated.


Cheers,
Rik.
