Dear Jon,

thanks for your answer. Maybe I have been too quick in writing my last message. 
The point is that with the old CCP4 interface, I would have been able to run 
Coot-findwaters to automatically add and remove water molecules at certain 
DELFWT and FWT rmsd tresholds, respectively, through REFMAC interface. Now, 
with the new interface, Coot-findwaters is not made explicit anywhere, and 
DELFWT and FWT rmsd tresholds seem not to be changeable. There’s only "R lower 
than” that is surely what you say = Rfactor (%) lower than 30%. I would not 
want to create misunderstandings, I am just asking for things which are not 
clear to me (maybe given my limited experience), starting from the assumption 
that my knowledge in refinement, model building and, more in general, protein 
crystallography, can always improve. 

Thanks for the precious help,

Luca Mazzei
