Hi JC,
Chimera can export a file for ChimeraX.  It includes most but not all aspects/data from the session, as outlined in the documentation.

So the way to go is to start your Chimera session in Chimera, and then export scene using the menu (File... Export Scene, choose file type ChimeraX) or the "export" command with "format ChimeraX".  See export command help by entering command: help export

Then you can open the resulting exported file in ChimeraX.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
