Two heat sources in the same room - both sized for full load?

I noticed in my model it has a VAV and baseboard heat in the same thermal zone, intended to work together, but OS sizes both for full load. What i mean is if I remove one of the heat sources, the sizing doesn't change. I noticed in the baseboard config I can set the "Fraction of Autosized Heating Design Capacity" but in the VAV there is no way to reduce the size of the heating coil to account for the supplemental baseboard heat. Does anyone have a suggestion? The system is presently solving for an oversized VAV heating coil and is this is not correct.
