This topic (https://sourceforge.net/p/rdkit/mailman/message/35173301/) 
discussed using conformer generation as input into Open3DAlign.

One thing I noticed is that the conformer generation (using the 
useExpTorsionAnglePrefs=True and
useBasicKnowledge=True options) does not generate conformers that align 
well for this example. The input is based on the 1DWD_ligand.pdb 
structure in the RDKit distro. What I find is the the rotation of the 
benzamidine ring is never in the right place for alignment (the other 
two ring systems align well). This is when generating up to 10,000 
conformers.

Does this suggest that the conformer generation does not sample 
conformational space very effectively? Are there options for improving this?

Thanks

Tim
