Hi Bryan,

in principle, phenix.find_ncs should be fine with FP=DANO, right?

I'm not quite clear on this, but yes, find_ncs wants a map, and you can give it any map coefficients with labin="labin FP=FP PHIB=PHIB FOM=FOM "

and - do i understand correctly that phenix only correlates the map with the .pdb sites, and does not rotate the map about itself (like in getax, i think)?

Correct, find_ncs is looking for NCS in the heavy-atom sites as presented in a PDB file, or in a model as given in a PDB file, without rotating the map. Any crystallographic symmetry is automatically applied.

p.s:

i can run phenix.find_ncs with FP=DANO, but seems that resolve wants it to be FP as usual.

It might be helpful if you could send me this example! I hope that helps! -Tom T Thomas C.
