Stretch Action - Need line to stay connected to two points

Good day,

 

I have attached my block as well as a photo.

 

I am having an issue when stretching a dynamic block i've made. I would like the line I have circled red in to remain attached to the corner of the rectangle and the midpoint of the intersecting line (see points circled in blue) when stretching the rectangle horizontally or vertically.

Add an additional Stretch action to both of the linear parameters to move the end of the line where it intersects the other diagonal line.  In the properties of these two new stretch actions set the Distance Multiplier to 0.5.  This will make the stretch action move half the distance the linear parameter moves.  This will keep that end centered.

Happy to help where I can.

 

BTW: In the file I uploaded I changed the two linear parameters to only have one grip as it seemed only one grip on each was needed.  This required the Distance1 parameter to be reversed so that grip was at the correct location, then re-setup the two stretch actions.

I am having the same issue and managed to fix the regular mid size storage blocks as such but cannot fix the ones with doors as their stretch grip is on the topside. Please see attached.

Any ideas?Before StretchBefore StretchThe errorThe error

I simplified it a little by removing the two Move actions and adjusting two of the Stretch action selection locations and the objects in their selection sets.
