Hi,

have a look into the supplement of the paper by Poul Nissen pointed out.

There are some shell scripts exactly for that purpose.
I had to adapt the scripts a bit, but the instructions are very well to
follow.

So I'm not exactly sure how I'm getting an 'inconsistent cell info'.....

This isn't ideal due to differences in mask interpolation vs map interpolation but could be a good starting point.

>>> I'm using dmmulti and one of my crystal forms seems to have a better solvent mask (after outputting it with solout) than the other. (Probably due to better phased reflections at low res for the first crystal form). Is it possible to take the better solvent mask and use it as input for the solvent mask for the other? How's this done? (a direct input of the better xtal1 mask to xtal 2 gives 'inconsistent cell info'). Thanks!
