[phenixbb] Autobuild in to "extra density"

Hi Ben,

Yes, you are correct that rebuilding a specific segment is only available
for rebuild_in_place=true.

For replace_side_chains, you have a choice of specifying use_any_side=True
(default) or False. If you say "True", then if it cannot figure out what is
the right sequence it makes one up that matches the density.

You don't have to specify which map coefficients to use...it will guess.

Best to supply a PDB just of the part you are interested in.  Doesn't
matter what side chains you supply (they are ignored.)

Replace side chains operates on whatever you supply, so no you can't say
which chain and residues to replace. (Nice idea though!).

All the best,
Tom T
