Upright Vertical Transform BEYOND 100 possible?

I'm not here to argue whether one should even need to go beyond 100 with the vertical transform, however there are times I need to in order to make the lines of buildings, using a wide-angle lens, vertical. 

 

In Photoshop I can adjust the perspective without limitation. Is there a way to achieve this in LR Classic? 

 

Has anyone else run into this problem? Not seeing much about this online. 

 

Screenshot of my problem in action. Building's lines not yet vertical yet I'm tapped out at 100.

Try a combination of the guided upright tool [Shift+T] to firstly define the verticals (this has limitations also!),   then apply some more Vertical transform.

 

My three tests-  Original, Upright Tool , +Vertical Transform

    Hi again Rob --

    A month later and I'm trying this again on a vertical orientation image. Problem is each time I click over to the "Vertical" transform tab from "Guided" and set vertical to 100, the slider at 100 under the Guided tab resets to zero.

     

    Any idea why this may be happening?

     

    I bascially only have the ability to set the vertical transform to 100 on only one tab .. doing so on the second resets the former tab's vertical slider -- rather than combining them.

     

    Any input greatly appreciated!

    Consider the [Vertical] button to be a 'Preset' that will over-ride (& reset) your manual slider adjustments. (The same for [Level] )

    Use [Guided] with the Upright Tool [Shift+T] and then apply the sliders.
