To move props in Shogun Live, you use the Object Manipulator, at the top of the 3D View.

 **To use the Object Manipulator:**

1. Pause the real time (press the spacebar, or click **Enter Review** or the Play/Stop button) and in the **Tracking** panel on the right, select the prop that you want to move.
2. If the Object Manipulator isn't displayed, click the Object Manipulator button or press M.
  :check_mark: **Tip**: To scale the manipulator, press the **+** or **-** keys.
3. Drag to move the prop in the 3D View or enter the required values in the Object Manipulator fields.
4. To change between global (values relative to the scene origin) and local (values at zero), click the required button at the top right:

You can use the manipulator to quickly align a prop to the world axis.

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


1. Pause the real-time (press the spacebar, or click Enter Review or the Play/Stop button) and in the **Tracking** panel on the right, select the prop you want to align and press M to display the Object Manipulator.  
In the Workspace (**3D View**), the Object Manipulator is displayed.
2. To align the selected prop to the scene origin, ensure the Object Manipulator is set to **Global** and change all the values to zero.

When you resume streaming, the prop's orientation is updated.

In the 3D View, you can align a selected prop's axes to the global axes, a selected marker, or to the center of multiple selected markers. To do this, select the relevant object(s) or marker(s), activate the Object Manipulator  and then expand **Alignment Tool** at the bottom. For more information, see [Understand the alignment tool](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ShogunLive121/pages/1253212324).

With your prop in place, you can add or change the mesh of a prop. For more information on how to do this, see [Customize props](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ShogunLive121/pages/1253212601).
