Hi Hailaing,

you can't do it sensibly without a atomic model. The total model 
structure factor used everywhere (in R-factor, maps, refinement, ... etc 
calculations) is:

Fmodel = scale * exp(-h*U_overall*ht) * (Fcalc + k_sol * exp(-B_sol*s^2) 
* Fmask)

where Fmask is computed from atoms.

Of course, assuming your input Fcalc are from atomic model, one can use 
Babinet based bulk-solvent model, but this is not implemented in PHENIX 
because of well known deficiencies of this model.

This is why most of tools that compute R-factors, maps, do refinement 
etc require PDB file with a model (and not just Fcalc) and a data file 
with Fobs.

This can be done without atoms.

Let me know if you still want this. Also it would be encouraging for me 
to know why you want this - just in case I may be able to suggest an 
alternative way to do what you want.

Pavel.
