you can fit your model chin A over chain B First save chain A only to a new model either in COOT or outside by editing so now you have two Models - one A B C etc , and one only A Calulat SSM. overlap or some such instruction of A over B and change CHAIN ID to X say Now repeat with SSM overlap A to C.. etc At end you can mere A with all copies.. But also maybe better to sort out the true symmetry first. Do you have a suggested Space group or is it really P1?
