Well, marker models are not exactly the same as atomic models, so it’s not exactly a bug, just inconsistent implementation. Keep in mind that you lose some of the information (colors, radii, labels) when saving markers as PDB, so it’s not clear whether allowing it is good or not, which may be why we allow it one place and not the other. The main menu File… Save PDB only lists regular atomic models, whereas the Model Panel also lists the marker model as a choice to save. You can also use the “write” command to save a marker model to PDB, if you don’t want to use the Model Panel.<br>
<br>
However, if you want to keep the color/radius/label information in the marker model, you should save it as a marker model (.cmm) using the File menu of the Volume Tracer tool (in menu under Tools… Volume Data).<br>
