How can I scale a subsection of a mesh created with the screw modifier?

Question

I've created a mesh that somewhat resembles a phone cord by following this tutorial. Now I want to modify a subsection of the structure. Specifically, I would like to scale down the "diameter" of the structure somewhere in the middle.

Is there any way to do this besides creating separate meshes for each of the differently-sized subsections?

Answer 1

If you are trying to adjust the Curve path in this case, you can follow this way:

• Tab into the Edit Mode, select one or more points on the curve;
• Then press AltS to loosen or narrow it as you want (or click Scale Feather button in the Toolshelf).
