There seems to be problems sometimes when plotting octahedra. I have a fairly complicated example with 40 atoms in the unit cell (the space group I've used is P 21/n which isn't standard, so I've opted to omit symmetry for plotting in spinw for now and just put all atoms in by hand).
I am trying to plot octahedra around the Ca1 atoms, but for some reason this doesn't work. I've managed to plot a single one the way I want it in red. The code is below:
Thanks.
