Override connected load of a panelboard

[dtiemeyer]

In a panelboard family, Even if I link the Connector > Apparent Load to a Shared Parameter (type based value), when that panelboard is used in a project, it does not pass through the static value, it passes through the connected load. I'm looking to create a situation that is like: If connected load is less than X, use X, else use Connected Load. Is it possible to override the connected load of a panelboard so that the panelboard does not "send upstream" the connected load but a substituted load?

(it appears that if I input the desired static load into the connector value itself, that will be used, but I'd like to do an if/then based on a type or instance value)

I looked into this a bit today. I don't think it is possible to adjust the "Connected Load". Any sneaky stuff to get around it seems against the normal workflows and would involve lots of manual reentry or a dynamo like solution to pull parameters from one and into another. I was thinking maybe a nested shared family with a different connector and linked parameters might be an answer. But it does not do anything for the connected load.

Let me know if you figure out a way around this. I am interested because of how Wiring works with sizing and transformers without Neutrals.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this behavior is not available in Revit at the moment.
