Just set the coordinate of atom 19021 in the reference pdb to 0,0,0? Sounds simple enough.

Dear NAMD users,
Good afternoon,I have trouble in collective variable, when i am collecting Z positions in Colvars. I found the distance collected is from main atomnumbers to ref atomnumbers. But what I want to collect is absolute Z positions (like reference atom is (0,0,0)), Do you know how to set this? I try to use dummyatom as reference atom, it can't recognize it. and if I make anychange, does it affect harmonic constant part?
Thank you for your time.
Jiali
here is my colvars file.
colvar {
name length
lowerboundary -19.0
upperboundary 10.0
lowerwallconstant 100.0
upperwallconstant 100.0
outputAppliedForce off
distanceZ {
main {
atomNumbers 19021}
ref {
refPositions (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)}
axis ( 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 )
}
}
harmonic {

colvars length
forceConstant 1 # in kcal/mol/A^2
centers -1.0 # go from 25 Angstrom RMSD...
outputCenters on
