Having just faced this problem, I used the coot 'symm shift reference chain here' command (in Extensions / Modelling menu) to assemble the model from the scattered fragments.

This should be scriptable, but I didn't think it was worth the effort for the 20 odd fragments I had.

Hope this helps,

Quoting "Bernhard Rupp (Hofkristallrat a.D.)" <[log in to unmask]>:

Hi Fellows,

I seek advice for a trivial but tedious problem: I have rebuilt,
automatically and manually, several parts of a
structure, which of course, are all over the place in different ASUs. I also
have a  reference model, where
the parts form a correct ASU.

Is the a program/script that can accomplish this assembly of parts onto the
correct model given the
reference model?

This is probably a common nuisance with a tool already available.

Best regards,  BR
