    Hi Yarrow,<br>
    <br>
    if you are at the water picking stage then it's almost certain you
    don't need to do rigid-body refinement. Normally, you do rigid-body
    refinement once at the very beginning if you believe it's necessary.
    Regarding that water. What happens if you run refinement without
    rigid-body and with automatic water update (that will
    add/remove/refine waters)?<br>
    <br>
    Here is how phenix.refine treats atoms on special positions. It it
    "sees" an atom close to special position (within some tolerance,
    which is 0.5 or 1A, I forgot exact number) it moves that atoms
    exactly onto special position, and then keep it there throughout
    refinement. So if you see that water moves, then I guess it is close
    to s.p. but not enough. Or perhaps there is something else is going
    on..<br>

          It turns out I do have some special positions. Waters sit near
          a 2 fold axis. I have given them 0.5 occupancy. No error comes

                        ok, I wish that error message (that I put a
