Light Fixture Watts not showing in schedule

[Anonymous]

I have created a new suspended light fixture and assigned wattage, lamp and voltage. When I create a schedule to show the total wattage in a space those fixtures aren't included in the total (the "built-in" fixtures that I used are totaled). I thought the fixture may not be in the space so I tried moving the fixture so it is "floating" in the middle of the space and it still isn't calculated. Does anyone have any suggest of something else I can look at? I will glad to send the fixture family to anyone if it would help.

The wattage value is based upon the load defined on the Electrical Connector, have you mapped your Family Parameters to the Electrical Connector Parameters?

hi im having the same problem too though i have already linked the apparent load & voltage in the parameter.

Hi,

How to mapp Family Parameters to the Electrical Connector Parameters?

I still cannot see Wattage (it is invisible). I see only Apparent Power.

Do I need to add shared parameter called "Wattage"?

Regrads,

I believe the parameter you want is apparent power.

As MuirEng mentioned, make sure your parameter for Watts is an Electrical Apparent Power category/type. Revit will not allow you to add values of different types.

Also, within the family, check your connector. Make sure that your Apparent Power is linked to the parameter that you've created. Furthermore, that parameter that YOU created should be a SHARED parameter. If it's shared among multiple elements - that is best practice. You can't create a parameter in a family, then a parameter with the same name in a project, and expect Revit to know that they are supposed to be the same. The parameter as you name it is just for your reference. Revit better understands a parameter by its GUID.

If you post your project, I'm sure someone will be able to take a look at it for you.

thanks sir its work

The connector - parameter relationship isn't the problem.  The fixture schedule doesn't care what the connector shows, that's for panel schedules.  The most likely problem is that you have two "Wattage" parameters, one assigned to the two fixtures that are working with the schedule, and one that is assigned to the other two.  Edit the non-functioning families and in the type editor change the "wattage" parameter in them from the current version (most likely a family parameter) to the shared parameter that the other two families are using.
