What kind of object are you trying to place, a molecular structure?  a density map?  an abstract shape like an ellipsoid?  There is not a general facility to do this but it may be possible to write a script to do it in specific cases.  The following Python script, placem.py,

on the Chimera Python scripts web page 

http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts

can place molecules or maps at positions listed in a text file.

How do I place an object with small volume in the locations of markers in a marker set? Essentially, I would like to replace the sphere markers with copies of my own object. 

This is my first post in this mailing list. I very much appreciate all of your help. 

Thank you.
