Hi,
First of all, I am not sure about the category of my post, but the "Phenix/MR rosetta" category seems to be the most relevant, considering the topic of this post.
I have been folllowing the cryo-EM tutorial from 2015 to produce a model, which would be derived from the fragments of multiple templates and nicely fit to cryo-EM map. However, all produced models are out of density. I understand that the purpose of this protocol is to perform a more exhaustive sampling, but still several top-scored models are simply out of density, not even close. The problem is with both ccp4 and mrc maps.
Templates are aligned to the density. I checked in both COOT and Chimera, so it is not a problem of headers...I think.
Adding -relax::constrain_relax_to_start_coords flag with different values of of cst improve, but do not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

2.) Additionally, I am not sure whether the tutorial itself is up to date. According to the tutorial, the "AUTO" flag should be "auto", but actually it should not be.
When I change to "auto" I get error = [ERROR] Unable to open constraints file: auto
3.) Finally, which flags specify rescoring againts density? Shouldn't we use any density scoring function? I mean, does the hybridizer follows any density data when building structures? The main script file also does not contain any density function.
thank you
