Hello,
If both models are chosen in the bottom of the File... Save dialog, and you choose File type PDB, then it does save both of them in a single PDB file. However, they are still in separate MODEL parts of the PDB file and maybe whatever you are using to convert
PDB -> xyz only looks at the first MODEL.
So instead of just saving your two models to PDB, you may need to first combine these two models into a single model. You can do it with the "combine" command,
<

...e.g. if your models are #1,2:
combine #1,2 model #3 name combined
...then in the File... Save dialog to save the PDB file, choose only the new model #3 "combined" to save to the file.
I hope this helps,
Elaine

me?
