First thing I'll say, your pretty much the definition of a piece of crap for putting your name on MY work.....

But, I will tell you this..... If you wanted to actually put in the time to do your own work this round, I have a suggestion....

Change your list setup to report Connector 1 XYZ (which represents current rod node), grab that from the entget 300's properties and simply issue the stretch command from that provided XYZ to a Z replaced version of your choosing. Best of luck...
