To begin, you'll need to access the "Curator" panel to add the earring post. There are two ways to access this panel:

### **Option 1**:

Go to the **Components** tab and press the **Curator** command.

### **For this lesson:**

In the Curator panel, navigate to the **Findings** category.

Select a **4mm Earring Post Push**, which is a standard option for stud earrings.

Before positioning the post, group the basket and the post together to make positioning easier.

### Group Elements

Select both elements (the basket and the post), and in the command prompt, type **"Group"** to combine them.

### Elements Position

The Gumball tool allows you to move, rotate, or drag elements precisely.

Use the front view. Ensure that the post is correctly aligned with the basket and securely attached.

> Use "Pan,Zoom and Rotate" and then "Zoon Extents All" to center all views.
