Hi Shiqing, In your example command, #5 is telling it to add to marker model #5. If there is a different marker set it would have a different model number. So if you are adding the marker with a command, you can control it directly by the model number in that command. However, the example command you gave isn't quite right, maybe you meant: marker #5 position 1,1,1 radius 100 "marker" command details: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/marker.html> You are probably talking about adding the marker with the mouse, however. In that case, you are right: I don't see a way to control which marker model is used. Maybe we did not plan for people to have multiple marker models. So maybe this is a type of control that can be added in the future. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/markerplacement.html> Sorry about that, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi!
I’m trying to have multiple marker files because I would like them to have different radius and coloring distance. I figured out that I can create new marker files by “marker #5 1,1,1 radius 100”, for example. However, if I add new markers, the new marker always goes to the first marker file, instead of the selected marker file that I want. Any help is really appreciated!
Best, Shiqing
