When you click an icon, the firework is dropped into the scene with its launch point set just above the launch
caret that sits on the imaginary launch line, and its height (or target point) is defined by its caliber. Here, we’ve
clicked on the 5” Red Ext Comet:

You can drag the launch point after you’ve dropped it, but only horizontally. You can’t drag a launch point up
into the Sky Field—it always lies on the launch line at the bottom of the Sky Field. When you drag a
firework’s launch point, the launch caret goes with it. The next firework you click-to-add will drop into
thisnew location. (Note that you can’t move the launch caret by hand.)
Notice that the firework’s trajectory is outlined with white dots. The white dots mean that the firework is
selected. If we add another comet the first object becomes unselected, as indicated by the red dots (you have
to hover the mouse over the Sky Field to see the unselected outline):
