Hi Aron,
I'll look into the dummy atoms approach. Distance between the center of mass of my picked atoms and a fixed dummy atom should indeed give me what I want. I've never used them before, but I'm guessing it won't be too difficult.
Thanks,
Tristan

You can't redefine those maps to be relative?
If not, I believe you can use dummy atoms in the colvars, and a dummy atom can be defined to have (x,y,z) coordinates. I've not actually done it, so can't help beyond that, but I think the user guide gives pretty good information.

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to fit some cryoelectron tomography maps. The resolution is low enough to be very ambiguous, but there are a number of points which can be assigned with relative confidence (e.g. hinge points between domains). I'd like to steer the relevant portions of the structure into these spots, but as far as I can tell the colvars functionality only allows steering into relative rather than absolute coordinates. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks,
Tristan
