Dear CCP4bb members,

I have two questions about imosflm integration and scaling process (my data
is 3A resolution and 0.5 degree mosaicity):

1. I have warnings after integration saying the twist variance is too large
(from -0.26 to 0.33, which is larger than 0.5), suggesting that cell
parameters may be wrong, and reindex to the right space group may be
needed. After I read the imosflm tutorials from internet, the tutorials
says "For weak images the tilt and twist may not be well defined, and might
refine to large values (greater than one degree). In such cases these
parameters should be fixed. It is not generally recommended to fix any
other detector parameters."

Does this mean if I see twist variance greater than "1" then I need to fix
both "tilt' and "twist" value before integration in imosflm?   In my case
the variance is greater than 0.5 but less than 1, do I still need to fix
both "tilt" and "twist" value?

2. I am not sure if iMosflm can be set to output the scale of specific
space group. For example, in my data set even though the integration is
done at P321 space group, after click "quick symm" or "quick scale" it
seems the program automatically choose what it thinks the most likely space
group P6222, not P321, I know in HKL2000 there is an option to choose
specific group and scale it, how to do this in iMosflm? I'd like to scale
the data to P321 and some subgroups in P3 but not P6222.


Thanks for any inputs.
