Summary0000186: Should ignore_zero_occupancy default true or false?
DescriptionMinicon 2013 defaults discussion #1:

Currently, Rosetta ignores all atoms with zero occupancy (the penultimate PDB column). If it's a sidechain, Rosetta will auto-rebuild the sidechain. If it's a backbone, Rosetta deletes the whole residue (standard behavior if any of {N, CA, C, O} are missing). This is controlled by -ignore_zero_occupancy, which defaults true, but could be false.
Additional InformationArguments in favor of changing the default from true to false (start reading zero occupancy atoms):

-This is a major class of user error on the message boards
-On the "principle of least surprise", we should match what molecular viewers (pymol) do - read in all the atoms.

Arguments against:
-These are often garbage coordinates, especially sidechains, we should not treat them as accurate. (This may be ameliorated by repacking zero-occupancy residues through the existing repack_missing_sidechains system).


This bug will stay open for "a while", and then the default will change from true->false (with the fix above) unless objections are noted.
