No. Bulk solvent mask is set up everywhere where there is no model. May
be it is a reasonable approximation at early stage of refinement to have
something in that area than vacuum?

I'm not aware of such program although it's a couple of hours to write
one. I would probably even write it if I ever see a clear need for it or
evidence for its usefulness. So far I don't understand why you really
need it?
