2. Double-click the required command to display the **Set Hot Key** dialog box, where you can set or clear the hot key for it.

This sets the ALT key as required when you select in Shogun Live Workspace views.

When **ALT key to select in views** is cleared, the default behavior is selection without the ALT key.

## Align a prop to the world axis


**To align a selected prop to the world axis:**


- With the prop selected, display the Object Manipulator, ensure it is set to Global and change all the prop's values to zero.
