Hi Bill,

You'll have to do a bit of digging, but I think that
data is stored in the custom property
  cRevGeometry[master,scaleBottomDistance]
of the object.
So I think if you change that, along with the
corresponding item in the custom property
  cRevGeometry[master,expectedRect]
you should be able to trick the Geometry Manager into
resizing things correctly upon 'revUpdateGeometry'.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
