Hi Oliver,

have you really dragged the methyl carbon far enough? I realised that it can be difficult to flip these with the hydrogens on (since these are "holding" it back). However, if you drag enough (maybe zoom out) it should work. In general it may be easier to drag one of the hydrogen (terminal atoms!) since these have less geometric restraints to go back immediately into the previous conformation.

Hi all, dragged refinement doesn't seem to work for structures with riding 
hydrogens - see linked screen recording showing dragged refinement of the same 
structure with and without hydrogens.

Would it be possible to alter this behaviour at some point such that hydrogens 
remain firmly attached during dragging, to remedy this?

In the past I have got around this by just doing real space corrections in the 
absence of any hydrogens and adding them back in before every cycle of 
reciprocal space refinement, but this does not seem like the optimal way to be 
doing things.

Cheers,
Oliver.
