I don't understand why this is happening.  If you do the fitting procedure, then 
choose EMI for both the calculation and output group for g_spatial, you should 
get an isosurface of just the position of EMI, it shouldn't overlap with the 
glucose molecule if the fitting was done properly.

Have you loaded the data correctly?  If you render the glucose and EMI 
separately, then load the .cube file into it and display EMI as "Isosurface," 
you should get the visualization you want.
