Hi, I changed the world axis orientation to Z up (default Y up) as I mainly work with apps that use this orientation (Maya, Substance,Unreal…), the problem is that for Houdini scenes that were been created with default Y up orientation, I have trouble getting them to suit the Z up orientation. How to solve the problem?

By the way how do I activate ambient occlusion in the viewport like in maya so you can get better sense of depth?

You can enable ambient occlusion from the high quality lighting button
