I guess you mean you have one ha per monomer? To use CCP4 tools - you can use mapmask to mask out a sphere of density around your heavy atom. Give the atom a "radius" of 10A of something big to get a decent lump, and make sure it looks sensible.. (Use your best phases here of course) Then use that density as your search model for MOLREP - you can see how to do that from the GUI I think.. (Make sure the matrices DO transform your ha in mol 1 to the ha sites in the other molecules! Then input the matrices you get into DM with the averaging option - that will refine the rotation matrices, and usually improves the maps greatly.
