Hi Gloria,

I agree that ChimeraX is the easiest starting point for this. After that, the 
CCP-EM suite has a variety of rigid and flexible fitting methods that you can 
try (including em_placement in the latest).  Also many validation functions, 
which are kind of important 😊   Our annual Icknield workshop covers these 
techniques, look e.g. at

Hi Gloria,

Guillaume already mentioned emplace_local, so I’ll just mention that if you get 
a recent nightly build of Phenix and the latest version of ChimeraX (plus the 
Phenix UI plugin from the toolshed), you can tell it your map has symmetry, 
place a monomer, and then it will detect the symmetry and place all the 
symmetry-related copies of the monomer. (That’s assuming you imposed the 
symmetry during the reconstruction.)

It’s still under rapid development: another new feature is to be able to 
account for a part of the model you’ve already placed when placing a new 
component. To come: something much more highly automated, like Phaser, in 
placing multiple copies of multiple components all in one job.

Best wishes,

Randy
