You named your atoms   Cu1, Cu2,....
This tells the symmetry programs that you WANT these atoms to be 
non-equivalent and thus you force only one sym.op.

> 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?
