Hi Ian,

I'm aware that this can be done with Buster (and probably also

since you mentioned phenix.refine:I confirm it is possible to freeze any
refinable parameters (coordinates, occupancy, xyz and iso/anisotropic B
factors for any selected atoms).

I'm in the process of making exactly this available in phenix.refine:
