If I am using Revit 2010 to create massing for conceptual design. I have a strict program. So If I want a floor area to be 10,000 m2 then I adjust the mass and make it wider or longer but the other dimensions would adjust automatically. I want it to always stay at that set area of 10,000 m2. Is there a way to just create a mass of a set area? I am making several masses then I will need to change the shapes of them and fit them into a tight site area. It will be extremely helpful to be able to adjust there masses and keep the areas set.

This would seem to require using circular references in you massing family (I'm assuming that you are using a basic rectangular mass at this stage), which Revit doesn't seem to allow you to do.

Circular references? Yes I am using basic rectangular mass at this point. Someone said this is supposed to be a new feature in Revit 2010. This should be a most basic function of revit to set areas and keep them restrained. There must be a simple way to do this to a rectangular mass. I tried to set inplace family properties with an area Value but that does not seam to work. I know there is a way to do this. I have searched all over the internet for a tutorial or anything that explains it.... Can someone please explain it? I really need to figure this out fast! Thank you in advance!

You can make it so that the area stays constant and either the length or width is adjustable, with the other dimension adjusting. If you try and make both the width and length parametric with a constant area you will have a circular reference, as pointed out by ArchMERK, as the parameters would be refering to each other.
