First you decide on the original undoped (super)cell you want to use.
Then figure out at which coordinates the dopant should be in that cell.
Next, either insert that position manually (increase the number of
inequivalent atoms atoms (line 3) by one, and add the entire block with
position info etc. for the extra atom), or use makestruct_lapw to
generate the entire (super)cell again from scratch, with the impurity.
sgroup will indeed break the symmetry, that is normal. Accept its
proposal, and symmetry will not complain afterwards.
