How to remove part of a body along existing line and how to "bulk up" part of an existing body?

[jakubkfree]

I am making a holder for a shower gel. I want to make a one hook version, which means removing one hook along the existing line 

Is there a way to do it ? 

I have just realised writing this I could (and probably should) go back in a timeline and remove it before i Thickened the model, but is there a way to just remove it without going back in timeline ? (I want to learn anyway)

Also, once I have just one hook, I would want to make it thicker , to make it stronger (its is for 3d printing). I was thinking of tapering it (thick top and then gradually thinner to the main body) but the Draft won't work (or I'm trying to use it wrong)

How could I do this?

See if this works, or gives you a heads up.  4mm thick as a top starting point.

Thank you so much. Solved a lot of mysteries for me. Although one mystery solved - another arises..

I have decided to stay with two hooks in the end and use your solution to make them wider at the top. I projected Body65 to sketch12, did the offset and now try to loft the offsetted part of Sketch12 to the outer edge of  Body67, but it won't let me. Any ideas why ?

I have just discovered I can do the loft if I won't do the whole length , but I am none the wiser why or how to do the whole thing around.

Thank you

From V7, I can see the problem you ran into. 

Not really able to explain it, but some of the investigations as to why, I found that things are not symmetric, and the reason for that is this mesh body alignment, amounting to a waste of time.

So in my experience, when full profile loft doesn't work, try cutting it in half, and mirror it,

it usually does work out, and in this case, it was working, and that's when a mirror did not line up.

Your sketch 12 has the internal shape as multi splines with a hundred points, - compare that to my top profile sketch (previous file).  My spline was from Project > Intersect of the ruled surface, but I don't know where your profile is sourced with all those points.
