Retrieving intermediate volumes from an Ab initio run

Hello! Can I still retrieve volumes from intermediate checkpoints or iterations from an ab initio run that has already finished? Looking at the event log, the reconstruction appears to be getting consistently worse near the 20% final iterations.
Many thanks in advance.

Have you enabled Keep intermediate results, which is an advanced parameter, for the job?

For the Ab-initio job, what are your min and max resolutions ?

sometimes optimizing those can help resolve this, are many particles excluded or are all used to make a class ?

you can alway kill the Ab-initio job at the desired iteration and then mark it as complete to use the volume(s). People do just the opposite to get junk classes for decoy analysis, etc.

Dear @wtempel, Thank you for pointing this option out; I never noticed it, as it was collapsed by default in my interface.
Dear @Mark-A-Nakasone, Thank you for your consideration as well. I am rerunning ab initio with variable maximum resolution, batch sizes, and iterations; the stability of the high-quality models has increased a lot!
