Hi Eleanor: Do you have some references in mind that discussed the value of CC (say >0.5) to be able to build the structure? Didn't find one for right now:-( By the way, probably a "weak" question, In the case "a lousy model will give poor CCs even if the map is brilliant", we still accept this model dispite the poor CC, right? Sorry that I didn't get practically involved too much in real model building, but I just heard that model is more frequently built manually by eyes, not CC etc. Best Regards, Hailiang > If you ask for CORR SECTion then overlapmap does just that - the CC will > have a certain value for each section regardless of the CHAIN > parameters.
