Hi Murpholino,

You can use phenix.map_comparison map1.ccp4 map2.ccp4 contour_to_match=1.035

This will identify the contour in map2.ccp4 that encloses a volume equal to
that enclosed by the contour at 1.035 (absolute, not sigma value) in
map1.ccp4.

The method is described in Afonine, P.V., Klaholz, B.P., Moriarty, N.W.,
Poon, B.K., Sobolev, O.V., Terwilliger, T.C., Adams, P.D, Urzhumtsev, A.
(2018). New tools for the analysis and validation of Cryo-EM maps and
atomic models. <https://doi.org/10.1107/S2059798318009324> Acta Cryst. D74,
814-840. bioRxiv 279844;

All the best,
Tom T
