Dear Armel,
It is true that the initial F values for extraction in 
GSAS are from a dummy atom (or partial structure). If 
you place the atom at the origin then most space groups 
will give the same value of F for all reflections. The 
possibility of using a partial structure (molecular 
fragment) will make the extraction better than one based 
on equal structure factors and can help in completing a 
structural model.
