[phenixbb] coordinates and map shifted after phenix.refine without simulated annealing

Hello Tom ,
Thanks for your speedy reply

My space group is P1 , and the shift is by around an 1.2 A away and very
much in the vicinity of the input model and experimental map
I suspected the rigid body step (
rigid_body+individual_sites+individual_adp+tls) might be causing this and so
I am trying a refinement without the rigid body.
Also I am quite close to convergence and that step should not be necessary
as a first step.

But I am still confused as to why it shifts the molecule very close by , but
slightly off , like a off kilter MR solution.
