[phenixbb] Can the Update Waters routine ignore specified waters?

[John Pascal]

Hi Pavel.

The waters around the metals agree quite well with previously determined 
structures, and some of the waters are included in the metal.edits file 
describing the expected metal-water distances.  These same waters are 
sometimes removed during the routine, and their residue number is given 
to a different water residue that has been selected at a different 
location in the structure.  So in subsequent rounds using the same 
metal.edits file introduces a model distance that is no where near the 
distance defined in the .edits file, and causes program termination.  I 
can of course remedy this, but  my feeling is that the metal sites 
should be handled carefully by me, and then left alone as the rest of 
the structure is tested for additional waters.  Thanks.

Best,
John
