In my humble experience Elevators are rooms in the sense that they have floors, four or more walls, ceiling, lights, and so in other words are customizable elements. So even though they fall under CSI Masterformat Division 14 Conveying Equipment, their cabs can also be considered customizable under 142700 - so their cabs anyways should be able to be scheduled as rooms. We recently made a parametric elevator family on a project, to back check some lighting and wonder with Revit 2014, what you recommend for both tagging numbers for different Elevators, and also for scheduling each elevator's cabs finishes.
As mentioned, the best way to do this is to use an Equipment schedule, mechanical schedule or similar. That way you are scheduling the family, not rooms. Scheduling a custom parameter from your Revit family is much easier and will give you I think, the outcome you are after. You can schedule by Type Comments, description or any other custom parameter you may wish to create.
Petersen, I would disagree as rooms in the traditional sense, don't move up and down a building. A room is associated with a level. To document finishes, my elevator family has custom parameters for all 4 sides, floor & ceiling. We use the mark or type mark parameter for identification. I simply fill in this information so it populates a schedule.
Again, if you move away from rooms (I would use them simply to identify lift spaces in your documentation plans/sections), this scheduling task is fairly straight forward. Also, don't forget the benefits of having all this data in a typical lift you may use associated with a typical lift schedule in your template/library. Rooms on the other hand are recreated for every project.
