I’m not aware of any such option, and looking at the code, I don’t think there is one. Physically deleting them from the input file is the recommended course of action. (It should be relatively quick to remove all the hydrogens with the appropriate grep command. “egrep -v ‘.{13}H’ withH.pdb > withoutH.pdb” should do it for you in most cases, assuming typically named hydrogens.)
-no_optH false will rebuild hydrogens, but only for those hydrogens which may be misplaced or poorly specified on sidechain residues. (e.g. histidine protonation states, or hydroxyl rotamers). It doesn’t touch hydrogens which don’t typical have degeneracy (e.g. nonpolar hydrogens), and it doesn’t touch backbone hydrogens.
-skip_hydrogens is specifically for the SAXS score function (the full name is -scoring:saxs:skip_hydrogens), and is ignored even there.
