Hi Greg, If you want manual control over user-defined restraints, which I've found helpful when dealing with low-resolution structures, ResDe might help. You can define restraints in PyMol and then save the restraint file in the refmac format. I hope if helps. Here is the link: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/ResDe
