I think you need to work with formulas. You don't have to model all the
studs to get quantity take-offs. You can use wall area and multiply it by
your stud center. I am working on this now and I will post some of my
findings.

Can an *assembly* take-off (UniformatII vs. CSI)
be created as well?

How does it work?
Can you assign a $/SF to a wall family, for example?
Or is it more complicated than that?
Also, can these $ values be linked to an external database?
(like Timberline, for example...)
So someone, outside of REvit, can update these values,
and it will affect your Revit costs realtime?

you can export your Revit database out as an ODBC or use a 3rd party
application like Visual Estimating to link your Revit model (exported as a
dwf or dwg) to Timberline. I'll post some examples of take-offs later this
week. I have only done a couple so I wouldn't want to confuse anyone.

Innovaya Visual Estimating is definitely the way to go. It offers many features on the cost estimating side you will never get from Revit. Furthermore, if you are a little dangerous with Revit and have Innovaya you can tweak your models to get exactly what you want.
