I am using Revit Arch. 2009. My problem is I am unexperienced with massing. I can create a profile and a path and send my massing around but i need to create a profile in more than one plane. Is there a simple solution to this?

Feel free to give me anything you have on Massing....

I have Rev. Arch 2009, and Rev. Structure,and MEP 2010

Your question is not clear.  A profile by nature is only 2D and you can create that on any plane.  2009 allows you to extrude / revolve or sweep that profile along a 2d or 3d path and it will allow you to blend between two different profiles on parallel planes. But that it is it for 2009 - 2010 allows more manipulation if you need it.

In either a family or in a project, goto an elevation view and draw your reference plane - then select it and in its properties, give it a name so that you can find it. 

BUT - Do you really want to do this.  Most objects are easier to create in normal planes in a family, then by un-checking the "always vertical" parameter in the family settings, the family can be rotated in the project to the angle you want.
