Hi Jay,

Maybe try to use the the rhombohedral setting (space group R32:R, with unit cell 229,229,229,81,81,81 ) rather than the hexagonal one used now. Depending on the fft algorithm used to compute structure factors for your partial model, this can save you a chuck off memory/time.

You can reindex the data and change the model relatively straightforward reflecting the new set of basis vectors.

Cheers

Peter

The cell is quite big. 300 x 300 x 450 A, 90, 90, 120 (R32). I'm using the entire resolution range at the moment, but I've just set up another job with a reduced resolution range. So we'll see how this goes. I only get this error message when I do a run with Phaser with this partial known solution fixed. It also does the rotation function fine, but fails at the translation. Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Hi,

    what resolution range do you use? You can try reducing it a little.
    How big is your cell?
