| Axis | Enables you to select an existing axis – either an axis from the current local coordinate system or the global axis. This is useful if you want to rotate the local coordinate system about a specific axis. | Local X/Y/Z |
| Marker | Enables you to select a marker – either an unlabeled marker or any labeled marker – to specify the direction of the chosen axis with its axis origin at the current origin of the prop. The marker's name is displayed next to Target in the panel. | Labeled Marker |
| Center | Enables you to select multiple markers and use the center point to specify the direction of the chosen axis with its axis origin at the current origin of the prop. To view the markers chosen, hover over the tag. | Labeled Marker |

This is an example of the use of the alignment tool:
In this example, the primary axis of the prop is aligned with the global X-axis. The secondary axis is a vector originating at the prop origin and in the direction of the M_5 marker. The cross-product of the primary and secondary axes calculates the (unspecified) Z-axis. Using the primary (X) and Z-axis, the Y-axis is then aligned.
