first u have to align your target with template using align2d.py when alignment will created >P1;1ze9A structureX:1ZE9.pdb: 1 :A:+16 :A:::-1.00:-1.00 DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQK*

>P1;ABCD sequence:ABCD: : : : ::: 0.00: 0.00 DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQK*

like this.

then change it like below:- >P1;1ze9A structureX:1ZE9.pdb: 1 :A:+16 :A:::-1.00:-1.00 DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQK.*

>P1;ABCD sequence:ABCD: : : : ::: 0.00: 0.00 DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQK.*

and use model-ligand.py script to build model. gudluck
