This may give some idea:

Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Molecular Transform Superimposed on a Dataset

Actually, as a way to make this type of figure, I think there are programs
which output simulated diffraction images, so perhaps I could just input a
.pdb file with some really huge (fake) cell parameters
(10,000 Ang?), and then the resulting spots would be really close together
and approximate the continuous molecular transform. I think this would
amount to the same thing as the molecular transform of the model itself--am
I right?

Does anyone know which software outputs simulated diffraction images?
