[phenixbb] Fixing a ligand by a symmetry axis

Thanks for the help.

I tried setting the occupancy to 0.5 however it still moved the atoms  
out of position. Is there a way I can prevent phenix.refine from  
moving any of the ligand atoms in the last round of refinement, or  
alternatively add a restraint that will apply across the symmetry axis?

Thanks,

Simon
