Scaling of certain areas only

Is there a way to scale certain areas only? If I scale a model on the z-axis - the whole z-axis is scaled. I would like scale a certain area - i.e. the middle section of the model an keep the original dimensions of the top and lower secions.

Is this possible on the current PrusaSlicer or any other slicer out there?

Cheers

RE: Scaling of certain areas only

That is a function of cad software and not a slicer. If you want to do that sort of stuff then you should really learn some form of cad program. 
You could spend lots of time using the cut and export function to generate 3 separate stl files, which you could then theoretically import back in as parts and scale a part. However lining everything up and actually doing it would probably take as much time as learning how to do it in cad.  The actual operation in cad would probably only take minutes once you know how to do it.
