Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for checking this and for the explanation. If I
understand correctly a full omit map like the one I wanted (with no
rebuilding) might be useful to check, possibly at the end of refinement,
whether there is significant bias. This should give similar information
than the sfcheck omit map.

However, we wanted to check a particular region of the model where the
density is poor and not really improving with refinement. Hence, we
wanted to ponder if there was bias but with the aim of building a new
model for that region if required. Am I correct at deducing from your
explanation that for this case it would be preferable calculating the
full omit *with* iterative model-building?

Cheers,


Miguel
