Hi,
  I've forwarded your note to one of the MDFF developers as I'm sure
he can give you some helpful tips.

Cheers,

The simulated system has a different center since I used "Orient" to recenter the protein and membrane before the simulation. Now, all volumetric maps are centered differently compared to the electron density map - you see the problem.
