Dear Robbie,

I don't use ccp4 regularly (since our structures are mainly small
molecule structures), but when I do, I often use pdbset. I use it to
remove het-atoms, or side chains, or water molecules, or reset the
B-value.

I also use sftools. I have a script for calculating Rcomplete with
refmac. This script makes use of sftools in the preparation of the
mtz-file.

I use these tools, because they are command line tools - much faster
than GUI based versions.

Best wishes,
Tim
