Can I change tips in the middle of a feature measurement?

How do I change tips in the middle of a Sphere Measurement? I can add move points but not a tip angle change.
I am measuring a sphere (split bearing) and the fixture needs to hold the top & bottom, so I am limited to using tips T1A90B0 & T1A90B180. I thought I would be able to Show Hits and insert the move points and tip change. Am I doing it wrong?

Here is a snippet of the code:
HIT/BASIC,<-0.7983,-0.1336,-0.1599>,<-0.9675873,-0.1618877,-0.1938227>,<-0.7983,-0.1336,-0.1599>
HIT/BASIC,<-0.7988,-0.1221,0.1665>,<-0.9681832,-0.1479705,0.2018071>,<-0.7988,-0.1221,0.1665>
MOVE/POINT,NORMAL<-1.25,0,0>
MOVE/POINT,NORMAL<-1.25,0,8>
MOVE/POINT,NORMAL<-1.25,0,8>
MOVE/POINT,NORMAL<-1.25,0,0>
HIT/BASIC,<-0.7925,0.1331,0.1868>,<-0.9605614,0.1613483,0.2264698>,<-0.7925,0.1331,0.1868>
HIT/BASIC,<-0.8036,0.1439,-0.1192>,<-0.9740275,0.1743678,-0.1444515>,<-0.8036,0.1439,-0.1192>
I would like to put the tip change in between the 2nd & 3rd move points

I tried measuring half at a time and then 'merging' them together with a constructed sphere but I get this error: Math failed for SPH3: Combination of input features not supported.

Please help!

You can collect the hits into a constructed feature set and then construct a sphere from it as shown below. In this example each sphere has 9 hits.

As mentioned by JEFMAN

SCN1       =FEAT/SET,CARTESIAN
            THEO/<3.993,-4.1814,3.2449>,<0,0,1>
            ACTL/<3.993,-4.1814,3.2449>,<0,0,1>
            CONSTR/SET,BASIC,SPH1.HIT[1..9],SPH2.HIT[1..9],,
SPH3       =FEAT/SPHERE,CARTESIAN,OUT,LEAST_SQR,NO
            THEO/<3.993,-4.1814,3.2449>,<0,0,1>,0.1969
            ACTL/<3.993,-4.1814,3.2449>,<0,0,1>,0.1969
            CONSTR/SPHERE,BF,SCN1,,
