## Options

### Strength

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGWEIGHTTOOL_STRENGTH` · Range: [0..+∞%]

Here you can define the strength with which each brush stroke will work.

### Mode

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGWEIGHTTOOL_MODE`

Use this setting to define how the brush will work and how it will apply existing weighting:

- **Add**: New weighting will be added to existing weighting
- **Erase**: Existing weighting will be reduced
- **Absolute**: Existing weighting will be ignored and the defined **Strength** will be applied directly (taking into account the decreasing effect of the brush within its radius)
- **Smooth**: Weighting within the brush's range will be averaged

### Apply All

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGWEIGHTTOOL_APPLYALL`

All Elements will be weighted. The strength and type of weighting is defined using the **Mode** and **Strength** settings above.

### Apply Selected

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGWEIGHTTOOL_APPLYSELECTED`

Works exactly like **Apply All** only that the Elements of the selected MoGraph Selection tag will be weighted.
