You can also find it under the View menu > Show Mass.
When you first use the massing tools Revit displays this message.

It boils down to this, Revit is saying, "Steve, the massing category is not on, you can't see it!! So I'll turn massing on for you globally (all views) without you having to manually turn massing on in every view using visibility/Graphics overrides. Okay?"
The alternative is to use Visibility/Graphic overrides in each view to turn on the mass category. By default it is off in each view.

The message also tells that you'll have to do this in order to print/export your massing work.
Now...in Revit 2010 you'll find things the same only different. Instead of a menu or toolbar button you'll find a "Menoolbar"...I'm sorry I meant Ribbon tab called Massing & Site.


Next time...don't panic!!...and remember your towel!

Thanks Steve, your title sums up my experience exactly. It is great that you put in 2009 and 2010 comments. I'll put you in my daily reads. Well done.
