How about this: create a big PDB file containing many symmetry-related molecules (e.g. generated by pymol or another program). Then use FFT and use the option to make the map cover an input pdb file, as suggested before.

Dear all,

I would like to create a map from a PDB file that covers several unit cells.
It is going to be read by a program that does not take symmetry operations
into account.

I took a look at sftools and mapman and combinations of both, but could not
figure out how to do this. Could anyone tell me, please?

Would ccp4 be the right format for such a map? I am not sure ccp4 map can only
cover a three-dimensional torus.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
