[COOT] Default B-factor for new residues

[Oliver Clarke]

Hi all,

Just a suggestion - currently Coot sets the B-factor of newly added residues to 
a fixed value, I think defaulting to 30 (although of course the default can be 
changed). 

Would it be possible at some point to introduce an option such that rather than 
defaulting to a fixed B-factor, new residues inherit the average b-factor of 
the nearest residue, or the residue to which they are connected? 

This would be convenient when building more mobile regions of a molecule, and 
generally it seems like a better idea than adding in a residue at a completely 
different B-factor from its surroundings.

Cheers,
Oliver.

Also, on the same topic - the default B-factor for new atoms only seems to 
apply to add terminal residue... when a new sidechain is added, it defaults to 
a B-factor of 20. 

I think the same parameter should probably apply in both instances?
