The mesh on the left is before morphing; the mesh on the right is after morphing.  The icon for cylindrical symmetry is a cylinder parallel to the symmetry system's selected axis centered about the origin. The highlighted handle is moved.  Note how the handles act on the mesh as if they were cylinders.  This type of symmetry is the equivalent of using both circular and linear symmetry together and is very useful for making circular changes to solid meshes.
