Dear Zachary,
In the CCP4 suite, I'm pretty sure both parrot and dmmulti refine the NCS operators, and the averaging tools in the Phenix suite do as well.
Best wishes,
Randy Read

The electron density based optimization of the NCS operators is the best feature in my opinion. I am hoping that someone has automated this process of electron density averaging. Don’t get me wrong, RAVE does a fantastic job, but it is a bit time consuming and seems ripe for some automation (especially when teaching undergrads how to do this stuff). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
