5 - Embird will ask you about the position in the Giant Hoop-It-All™ hoop for every file being merged into the Editor. Specify the "Side" and "Position" in the dialog box which appears on the screen (Picture No. 4). If you are opening files that were prepared in Embird, you can deduce the side and position from the last two characters of the file name displayed in the bar at the top of the window; e.g., "web_RE.hus" means "Right Side", "Position E".

6 - Repeat steps 4 and 5 for every part you want to open. You can select multiple files in the "Merge Files" dialog box.

4. Choose hoop section

7 - Sometimes it might be necessary to change the order of objects. Drag and drop objects in the Objects Order Bar so that their order is correct (Picture No. 5).
