Hi Raj,
Yes, autobuild can make an omit map excluding the region defined by
your loop, and it can use that map in rebuilding the loop. The
command you list below will do that.

That is correct.

Yes, that's right.

A few cycles should do everything that will happen...say 2-4 cycles.

Note that this command was designed to make the omit map, omitting the
target.pdb-defined region...however it will indeed rebuild your model
in this region. It will set occupancies to 0.0 for atoms in the omit
region and not include them in refinement as well.
If you want you can take the resolve_composite_map.mtz from this omit
procedure and use it as an input_map_file in a separate run of
autobuild, with 1 cycle of rebuilding, to refine the model.
Or you can just run phenix.refine on the model and data, after setting
the occupancies back to 1.0.
All the best,
Tom T
