Hi All,

  I'm trying to do the fitting of a model into EM (mrc map) for real-space-refine in phenix.

First I read the map and clicked "center" in the Volume viewer. Then I saved the centered map, assuming that the header info will be updated in the saved map.

I did the fitting and saved the model relative to the map. Reading the saved map and fitted model back looks OK. However, when I do the real-space-refine in Phenix, the CC-value during the run is really low (0.01) suggesting something is not properly done. I checked the header (using mrcfile) of the saved "centered" map and compared it to the original map and it is the same "0,0,0". Which means chimera did not update the header after centering.

    I'm not if there is a more proper way to do this! Any advice?

  Thank you for your help.
