Hello Jaishin,

First of all, you should look at your MR-solution as soon as possible:
Once you obtained the MR-solution, only run a rigid body refinement, not a
'normal' refinement. I believe that phaser already carries out a rigid
body refinement with the solution, so you can look at the map straight
away. The reason for this is that refinement tries to flatten your
difference map, and after MR it is those differences that you do want to
see in order to correct for the differences between the search model and
your data.

Secondly, you could split the search model into two parts and then search
for the first one, then for the second with the first one fixed. This
might place both parts correctly.
