Apply demand factor to motor wire sizing?

I’m doing an industrial project which has many large motors. Since Revit seems to size wire based on the rating of the disconnect device, is there a recommended method for sizing to wire based on the load and it’s demand factor?
My only other idea is to create a new wire type with the ampacity tables already calculated to include the demand factor. But that workaround just seems wrong.
Does anybody have any other recommendations for handling this?
Thanks!
