I think what you want is to add the flow from the Return Air connector and Fresh Air connector to the Supply Air connector?  You could try assigning a parameter to each connectors flow and then simply making the Supply one a formula of the other two.  They will probably all need to be Instance Based to work on the fly.  I recall doing something simular and having issues with it so make sure you do some testing.  Hope this puts you on the right track.

Thank you for your reply.

Already did as you described and it works pretty well in the family editor. However, when i load the family into a project no flow is indicated to duct that connects to ahu.

Thank you for your response.

Yes i did that and it calculates correctly in family editor but when you load the family into a project, it won't work. There is no flow going to AHU.
