Hi Jianghai,

normally this shouldn't happen. I wonder what's going on.. Could you 
please send me inputs and I will have a look right away?

Thanks,
Pavel

However, all the rigid body refinement gave me worse Rfree, even at ultra-low resolution, and phenix.refine reversed the result to the original model. Anyway to make this rigid body refinement more stable? Is there a dampen factor in phenix.refine so that the program only moves a domain at a fraction of what it wants to, e.g. 1/2, 1/3… ?
