I am a newbie at Revit and am wondering if you can label dimensions in a project? I want to be able to control the placement of items by using formulas to control their space i.e. space between walls if building size changes the room size can grow being a percentage of length.

As far as I'm aware, you can't place a label on a normal Revit project dimension like you can in the familiy editor. You can however use dimensions and reference planes to accomplish what you are after.
If something is to remain eqadistant between two things, dimension the object, hit the blue "eq" symbol on the dimension and it will report and lock to eq/eq. You can remove the dimension, and Revit will ask you if you want to remove or keep the equality constraint your choice.
If something is supposed to be 1/3 of a length away from something else, add 2 reference planes, dimension them to eq/eq/eq, remove the dimension but keep the constraint, insert object and align and lock it to proper reference plane.

Okay I have to be missing something. I cannot dimension reference planes using EQ dimensions. The only thing I seem to be able to do this with in projects is walls. I am using Ver. 8.0 if that matters.

I no longer have 8 installed, but works in 8.1 and for as long as I have been using Revit since 5.0 I believe reference planes can be dimensioned. It works fine in 8.1.
