    Question Emergency Light refuses to pass Wattage data to light fixture schedule

    Hell folks. Sorry to ask what might seem like a silly question but I have a wall light pack that simply refuses to schedule wattage data properly. I'm using the OTB parameter for wattage in the family, Electrical > Wattage > Electrical - Loads. This is the exact same parameter I am using in my schedules and when I load the family in the schedule simply refuses to read the data from the family. The cell is blank and cannot be edited but the family shows the wattage parameter as expected when viewing the type properties.

    All other parameters work just fine but this one doesn't. Can anyone help, this is causing some issues for our template functionality.

    I've attached the family with the issue so you can take a look, the family does not schedule properly in my template or in a stock OTB mechanical template. The issue exists in Revit 2015, 2016, and 2017.

    Thanks!

    Just for note, I have added the connector properties so it should work, however it still does not correctly pass wattage data.

    i compared the family you sent to some of the fixtures on Coopers website. it appears that the fixture wattage for this family is not a Shared Parameter.

    Very nice, thanks for this! I had thought I had taken care of that shared parameter but it was the last bit of info that I was lacking in this family.
