• X Location — move the key from side to side.
• Y Location — move the key up or down.
• Z Location — move the key towards or away
from you. Although the key appears larger or
smaller, it is the same size, just closer or further
from you in 3D space.
The Position area on the menu shows the location
of the key in the 3D world relative to the visible
area. If the key is moved out of the visible area, it
