    As you select entities, morph volumes are automatically created around them using the current settings. You can keep adding/removing entities or modifying the settings and the volumes will update automatically until you exit the tool or click Enclose.

  5. Optional: When defining Local or Symmetric types, click Orient on the guide bar to orient the volumes using the Vector tool.
    Use the Circular checkbox to optionally change the volume shape to circular.

    Global and Best Fit types create automatically oriented rectangular volumes.

    Volume buffer % and the number of mid-handles can be also edited by expanding the microdialog to reveal the advanced options.
