I need to know how to create in revit2009 a room tag that recognizes it is a part of a two or three story townhouse. This way I get one unit in my schedule with the total area of the townhouse vs 3 units one for each floor with there own area and counted separately in the total unit count.

In the room property use the "occupancy" field for the unit number then sort by this field and calculate totals for this field. You can rename it in the schedule to print as "Unit Number"

O.K. - I don't know your level of experience, so I will start from the beginning. You need to click on the room's properties when you insert them, tab until you highlight the room with the blue cross. In the field "occupancy" type Unit 1 or Unit 2 as required. Fill in the other fields as appropriate - "kitchen" under the Name Field etc. Make a new room schedule - (at a minimum) add the fields - Occupancy, Name & Area Under Sorting/Grouping Tab - Choose "Sort By Occupancy". Check the "Footer Box" and Choose "Totals only". Then go to "Formatiing Tab" - Highlight "Area" and pick to box that says "Calculate Totals" Close the box and you should have a table that separates out the Units and provides totals for the units. Under the "Formatiing Tab" You can also rename the Field "Occupancy" to be Unit Name or something else more recognisable. Good Luck

yeah I was able to create the schedule as you indicated and it is generating the room totals, but I used the room number rather than the occupancy, since our office already uses that category for other unit info. it would be nice if revit allowed you to combine rooms on differenct floors into a multilevel unit and have it calculate the total area in one room tag on the plans, oh well maybe later. thanks for your help

Unfortunately there is no way to do it automatically. You cannot create tags for calculated values (you can schedule them, but you cannot cretae tags to show those values automatically). You can add a shared parameter to the Room tag family and manually enter the total value - but this has the obvious dangers of not upoadating. sorry....
