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, <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/combine.html> ...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 ----- Elaine C.

Dear developers, I am a new user of ChimeraX. I need to create dimers in order to analyse adsorbate-adsorbant interactions for DFT calculation. I am able to create the image on the screen, but I don´t know how to save the atomic coordinates of the dimer in a single file. If I save a .pdb file in order to produce a .xyz file, just the information of one of the entities is kept. Can you please help me?
