Quick start

Install the addon and confirm that N opens the Volume Forge tab in the 3D View sidebar.
Use a Cube button when you want to place a volume quickly at the 3D Cursor.
Use a From Faces button when you need a volume built between two real quad faces in the scene.
After creation, select the new object to reveal all of its editing controls in the panel.

General rule

Parameter animation: only controls that display a small dot on the right side of the parameter in the addon UI can be animated directly. When that dot is available, click it to add a keyframe for that parameter. You can also right-click the parameter and choose Insert Keyframe, or use drivers for more advanced setups.
