My molecular orbital isosurfaces appear asymmetric. Why?

The molecular orbital isosurfaces generated in the Calculation Viewer may be asymmetric. This is caused by limitations in the 3D grid. The position and resolution of the grid may give this result. Also, the grid may not be aligned with the plane (or axis) of symmetry in the chemical system. The grid is constrained to be axes-aligned independent of the chemical system.
