3. Select the relevant Type (Slider, Puller, Slider & Puller, Stopper).
4. In the File section of the pop-up window, click on the four-square button to navigate to the location of the custom OBJ file and Double-Click to select it.
5. Adjust the position of the Puller or Slider in the preview window.
6. Click 'OK'.
7. Load a garment with a Zipper.
8. Click on the Zipper in the 3D Window.
9. In the Property Editor for the Zipper, observe that the Slider, Puller, or Stopper the user has registered is now available to be assigned to the zipper.
