Hi Mike,

  Not sure what your use case is for exporting scenes.  Currently ChimeraX exports limited OBJ, stl, gltf, x3d as generic 3d surface formats listed in the documentation under the save command:

	https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html>

We have looked at Collada, FBS, VRML, 3mf.  There is unfortunately no universally supported format for 3d models, probably OBJ comes the closest.

	Tom
