resizing a zsphere without affecting its parent or children

simple question…how do I do that? ive tried a number of combinations (link/zshpere), regular/alt/ctrl

In Edit mode enable Transform > Scale (Shortcut ‘e’)

Click dragging a zsphere will scale just that zsphere.

Click dragging a zsphere link will scale the whole chain, from the preceding zsphere and outwards.

Alt+Click dragging a zsphere link or zsphere will scale the individual zspheres in the chain, from the preceding zsphere and outwards.

Thanks TVeyes

If I make a chain of 3 zspheres, and I resize the middle sphere, it works as you say

However, if I turn 2 of the link spheres on either side of the middle sphere into zspheres as well, then when I scale the middle one, these others that are close to it also get scaled…is there a way around this?

What is your Draw Size? When working with ZSpheres, it should always be 1.

Aha! Thank you! I Knew that, but I had just forgotten to actually do it.
