I'm trying to scale only one loop in edit mode but when i select that loop and try to scale, it scales the entire mesh. What should i do? I am a beginner in blender and I made a cylinder mesh then I went into the edit mode to scale only the base loop but everytime I try, it scales the entire mesh.
I tried selecting only vertices or edges and both of them together but it made no difference. What am I doing wrong?
Disable the Proportional Editing mode button (blue sphere icon on the horizontal menu bar on the bottom of your 3D View).
