K-point mesh generation - exclude b3 (z) direction

Hi Axel,

Would it be possible to allow for k-point generation that only attempts to match the KPPRA to k-meshes of the type [ x y 1 ]? Since I’m doing surface calculations, the utilization of more than 1 k-point in the b3 reciprocal lattice direction is not only a waste, it also means the b1 and b2 directions are not being equally treated across cell sizes (and in some cases under-sampled).

I could probably take care of this myself, but the "kmesh" file appears to be pre-compiled. Nonetheless, I’m hoping this is an easy feature to add.

As usual, I really appreciate your efforts on this, Axel. Thank you so much!

I have the same question! Greg, did you figure out a solution to this problem?

Will be in version 3.43:
just put KZ1 in the [INCAR] section of your vasp.wrap file.
