Helicopter Lift

OK, as part of my current build I have a helipad which I want to retract inside the building. Simple I thought, I can move the prim no problem, but I want it to take me and the helicopter with it when clicked on.

Someone has given me a simple lift that you tell to go to a level but it doesn't work very well because the floor itself is slightly larger than the hole in the shaft and the lift turns the prim physical. I'd rather not have to resize it if I can avoid it since it won't fit at the bottom of the shaft then. I guess I could add to the script to resize the
prim before it goes up and after it comes down, but I'd rather leave it alone if I can... any ideas?

The most simple thing you could do (if you're able to mod the chopper)... add a script to both the helicopter and the platform. The script would listen for your command to "retract". When you chat that... the platform and the helicopter respond by moving to the retract position.

Otherwise, you'll need to compromise somewhere to make the elevator work.

I've just tried unlinking items from the script that I have and that works to a degree. I tried doing the parts individually but predictably enough the two parts never line up properly again... surely there's a way to do a lift that is more than one object?
