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:<br class=""><br class="">marker #5 position 1,1,1 radius 100<br class=""><br class="">"marker" command details:<br class=""><<a href="https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/marker.html" class="">https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/marker.html</a>><br class=""><br class="">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.
