No. To be honest I am not sure why one would want to do this. When a parameter refines "out of range” it tells you something about your data or model. With a restraint, you would never know that for example, a Uiso value is refining negative by > 2 sigma or a occupancy is >>1. It makes sense to me to define a model so that the sum of occupancies is fixed — a well defined assumption. Defining a range for a parameter scares me as I could never know that my model is highly flawed is some way.
