Just to clarify: all the above parameters do not change for all atoms
within the rigid group. They can get distorted at the border: say you
split a chain into two rigid groups, then the bond corresponding to a
hinge point where the one rigid group ends and the second one starts,
can get distorted.
You can do torsion angle SA which is constrained rigid body refinement:
the whole molecules is split into tiny rigid bodies and they are refined
without breaking the stereochemistry.
Pavel.
