Nonetheless, using Python you could copy coordinates from the model you adjusted in Coot (assuming the adjustments didn't add/delete atoms) to the model restored from the session.  I've attached a script (copycrds.py) that if you open it ChimeraX will define a command named "copycrds" that allows you to copy coordinates from one conformer to another (e.g. copycrds #1 to #2).  The script and description is also on the ChimeraX Recipes <> page.

Now, I manually adjusted one of the models in Coot. Is there a way to update the old model with the new one in the session so that all the settings, such as colors, views, showing residues, hidden ribbons can be kept and applied?"
