+    sphere

+      Equivalent to <Collide> { Sphere descend }.  The geometry is
+      replaced with the smallest collision sphere that will enclose
+      it.  Typically you model a sphere in polygons and put this flag
+      on it to create a collision sphere of the same size.

+    tube
+
+      Equivalent to <Collide> { Tube descend }.  As in sphere, above,
+      but the geometry is replaced with a collision tube (a capsule).
+      Typically you will model a capsule or a cylinder in polygons.
