Hi Shiqing,

  I added a menu to the Marker Placement panel to choose which marker set is used when adding markers with the mouse.  Also the "New" button will make a new marker set.  These improvements will be in tonight's ChimeraX builds.

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:

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.

Sorry about that,

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
