[Wien] Symmetry of Copper slab with cobalt

Dear WIEN users,
 I need the help of an expert on 
 surface calculations with WIEN2k.
 I built a three-layer Cu(111) slab with 
 vacuum corresponding to 7 layers. 
 Each layer contains 4 copper atoms. 
 I put cobalt at a site with fcc symmetry on 
 one side.
 Below are the steps that I went through:
 
 bulk lattice constant  = 6.71 bohr
 NN distance = 4.7447
 Interlayer spacing = 3.874 bohr
 a = b = 2*4.7447 = 9.489  c=9*3.874=34.866 bohr
 alpha=beta=90 gamma=120
 
 Cu1:(0,0,0)
 Cu2:(1/2,0,0)
 Cu3:(0,1/2,0)
 Cu4:(1/2,1/2,0)
 
 Cu5:(1/3,1/6,1/9)
  Cu6:(5/6,1/6,1/9)
  Cu7:(1/3,2/3,1/9)
  Cu8:(5/6,2/3,1/9)
 
 Cu9:(1/3,1/6,2/9)
   Cu10:(5/6,1/6,2/9)
   Cu11:(1/3,2/3,2/9)
   Cu12:(5/6,2/3,2/9)
 
 Co1:(0,0,3.5/9)
 
 But case.struct gives me only 1 symmetry 
 operation. I want to place another cobalt 
 atom on the other side of the slab 
 to get inversion symmetry to speed 
 up the calculations. How do I do that?
 
 Thank you
 
 J. Appleton
