Hi,
I use the exact same example given in the documentation to try the ONIOM calculation, but it gave me an error saying :

oniom: model does not have correct symmetry        0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an error related to the specified geometry
------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the input file:
