Hi Tim,

You can remove dihedral restraints like this:

  refinement.geometry_restraints.remove {
    dihedrals = chain A and ((resid 100 and (name CA or name C)) or (resid 101 and (name N or name CA)))
  }

Although it will remove all dihedrals that somehow involve the selected
atoms, which may not be what you want.

You can also change

  refinement.pdb_interpretation.peptide_link.cis_threshold=10

(the default is 45 degrees); this will lead to trans restraints.

If this doesn't help, could you describe more what you want to do?
