Dear colleagues,

If anyone has some time and interest, I would like to run a few things
about Amore and Euler angles by them. Maybe I will seem stupid but I
don't care anymore...
I am trying some 'brute force' molecular replacement.

True or false?

Spacegroup P1:
Model with no symmetry. I have to search alpha 0 to 180 degrees.
Model with two-fold and putting the symmetry axis along z. I only have
to search alpha 0 to 90 degrees?
Model with three-fold and putting the three-fold along z. I only have to
search alpha 0 to 60 degrees?
Model with four-fold and putting the four-fold along z. I only have to
search alpha 0 to 45 degrees?
Model with five-fold and putting the five-fold along z. I only have to
search alpha 0 to 36 degrees?
Etc?

And for higher symmetry spacegroups? For example a model with a
three-fold in I222 or I212121?

Any comments welcome!
