Creating a reverse Isometric Action

Question

Working on my isometric illustrations and I wanted to speed up my process by creating actions and UNDO actions as well but I am stuck with the UNDO/reverse actions once I get to scaling. I scale my isometrics on the vertical at 86.602% but what do I enter to reverse this action? I think I'm just missing an obvious solution but I cant figure out what it is...I tried -86.602 and 13.398% but neither are reverting back to the original flat shape I started with. Help?

I had a go at it - not sure how sound my method is though...

For the Top

Rotate 30,

Shear -30,

Scale 116.195% vertical

(insert menu item) Object > Transform Reset Bounding Box

scale based on Edgrimley reciprocal idea

1 divided by 86.062

Here are the steps I use in my isometric actions:

Flat to Isometric Wall:

Scale to 86.6% horizontal, 100% vertical

Shear 30° vertical

Isometric Wall to Flat:

Shear to -30° vertical

Scale to 115.47% horizontal, 100% vertical

Flat to Isometric Floor:

Rotate -45°

Reset Bounding Box

Scale to 122.48% horizontal, 70.71% vertical

Isometric Floor to Flat:

Scale to 81.65% horizontal, 141.42% vertical

Rotate 45°

Reset Bounding Box

I also have mirrored versions of each of those.
