Hi Rui,

I am at home so this is all from memory. In coot.

Use the control key (pressed down) to translate the map and get the center point on top of your positive density (using the mouse at the same time, left button I think). Do not hold cntrl any more to rotate the map by 90 degrees. Cntrl again to move the map etc etc until the center point is right in the middle of the density.

Then you use the menu, add atom, select Water, make sure you insert into your current molecule. One water atom added, done.

Repeat the process until you're finished adding waters. Then save as usual...

HTH,

Fred.
