[GSAS-II] Problem with intensities (my previous email)

Dear all

I could resolve my problem by selecting the other possible origin
(translated by (1/4, 1/4, 1/4) for Cu2O. But (being not really a
crystallographer) this confuses me a bit. In my understanding, origin 1
or 2 give just two alternate description of the same structure. It may
be more or less convenient to choose one or the other because both
describe the identical structure. Intensities on the other hand are real
physical properties. Why are they affected by the (free) choice of the
origin? Also, VESTA gives me the opposite pattern than GSASII for the
two different choices of the origin i.e. I get differing pattern for
both choices of the origin.

thanks for any clarification
