While what Ed is suggesting has worked for me too and, and as far as know, is 
probably the only way to get mixed iso/aniso B-refinement to do what one 
intends to do, perhaps Garib et al. can introduce a more elegant way of 
specifying in the GUI which residues range should be refined with iso/aniso B's 
?

        Cheers,
