Q.741 - Solvent flattening with RAVE

I have a mol. repl. solution with 2 molecules in the asu. I plan to use RAVE to avarage them, however I would like to combine the process with solvent flattening. The RAVE manual what I have doesn't say if this was an option. Question: does RAVE do flatteing or I should use something else for that?

You get the solvent flattening for free ;-) All density outside the masks is assumed to be solvent and set to a uniform density value such that the average in the whole map is zero.
