Oops, sorry forgot that I had the one for the latest version where I did some changes. Of course for 'older' version (pre- version 3238 or thereabouts) Phil's command is the one to use. In general replace

sphere_refine()

with

sphere_refine(your_favourite_radius)

Done.

That doesn't work in my OSX coot (maybe an oldish version 3072), no button 
appears

The simpler command doe:s
coot_toolbar_button("Sphere Refine", "sphere_refine(5.0)", "reset-view.svg")

Sphere refine is simply a thin layer around the refine-residues function which takes a 
list of residue specs - that gives you enough control, I hope.  (You can also trivially 
change the "radius" in sphere refine.)

How do you change the radius?

The pythonic function sphere_refine takes an optional argument which is the 
radius (default is 3.5A). If you have the sphere refine function as a 
toolbutton (which I believe you have now) you can change the function in your 
toolbuttons file ($HOME/.coot-preferences/coot_toolbuttons.py) to say e.g. for 
radius 5A:

coot_toolbar_button("Sphere Refine", "sphere_refine(5.0)", icon_name="reset-view.svg", 
tooltip="RSR around active residue")

Does this help?
