Hi Laurent,

I assume you’re using the Clipper plugin for this? If so, the command
“clipper isolate {atom selection}” will expand and mask the map to cover
all atoms in the selection that are in the model associated with the map.
Do “usage clipper isolate” to get details of the various keyword options.

Best,
Tristan
