    Do you want to change width and spacing, metal selection for power rings or power vertical stripes? Anyway you can easily set those setting from gui , if you want to do it in command line, you can do this way.

     addStripe -direction vertical -nets {VSS VDD } -layer MET2 -width 3.1 -spacing 0.5 -set_to_set_distance 100 -snap_wire_center_to_grid Grid -block_ring_top_layer_limit MET3 -block_ring_bottom_layer_limit MET1 -padcore_ring_top_layer_limit MET3 -padcore_ring_bottom_layer_limit MET1 -max_same_layer_jog_length 1.2 -merge_stripes_value 0.7

    For detail description of each of these switches you can do "man addStripe" in command line. This will give you manual on addStripe.
