chained polar stretch

hi, new user here, ive learned a lot from these forums, but finally have a problem of my own that i cant quite figure out. 

 

we draw our structural plans with a 100', 200', 300' etc vertical offset between levels of a structural depending on the size of the building.  i am trying to create a dynamic block for shearwalls that extends and rotates at both the upper and lower levels.  additional functionality included switching between a 2x4 and 2x6 wall and changing the offset distance between 100'-500'.

 

just started playing with chained actions to accomplish this, but running into some issues.  in the attachment, shearwall 1 i tried chaining a rotate and a stretch separately.  it works fine if you pick 2x4 or 2x6 and stretch the wall BEFORE rotating, which would be highly annoying.   shearwall 2 i tried chaining a polar stretch, but it seems to rotate the upper wall about a point that i cant figure out.  also not stretching the upper wall. 

 

at a loss here, please help!

Here's a screencast where I believe the various actions work how you would like.  The hatches will lose associativity if you are zoomed out, but they seem to retain associativity if you are zoomed in on just the lower one.
