Hi Francis,

in PHENIX GUI: "Validation" -> "PDB Statistics Overview"

or:

in PHENIX GUI: "Validation" -> "POLYGON"

The underlying idea is published here:

Crystallographic model quality at a glance. L. Urzhumtseva, P. V. 
Afonine, P. D. Adams, A. Urzhumtsev Acta Cryst. D65, 297-300 (2009)

I can add a command line version if anyone is interested.

Pavel.
