This Book will add a lot to your Revit education
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My recommendation is that Revit beginners buy this book after you have used the Sham Tickoo book. This one is not a simple tutorial book. As has been pointed out there are not a lot of step-by-step instructions, but what I got out of it is the way it takes you to the next level- beyond the basics and shows some more of the intricacies and potential of Revit. For example, the chapter on creating design alternatives within a single project is nowhere to be found in any of the other books I have used. The pics of many different roof types gives brief explanations of their formation- just what I want. I would rather see that than a 20-page explanation of a simple hip-roofed building. I am a recent(1 week to date) convert to the program and am more impressed everyday with the power and simplicity of Revit. !!!!!Here is the the great thing about this book- great graphics and lots of it. There are other books which have minimal graphic examples. Don't those authors know who their target market is? We are visually oriented people!!!!!!
Revit "Must Have"

This book is definitely a must have for any Revit user. Regardless of your revit experience, this book goes over how Revit is used within the architectural process. I love how the book recommends various tools within the software for the different phases of design. My favorite part of the book is the "Real World Scenario" portions of the book. Those really show how Revit is utilized within the real world. This writing team convey to the reader that they know how to use Revit Architecture. The Project Gallery really shows how off Revit is used in architecture throughout the world.
Good Resource!

I am currently a student working on my masters in Architecture. There are no classes offered in REVIT at my school and I feel that this book is a perfect follow up to the first one. It is already helpful in aiding me in advance topics like family editing. What a great tool, especially if you are self taught.
Rockin' REVIT!

Wow, talk about a tool that will finally advance my mad REVIT skills. I have only just begun reading the book and am learning lots of useful tricks. The section on complex massing is especially helpful.
Clear and helpful, this is where to go to learn Revit

After finishing the majority of this book I was impressed with the quality of the examples. The authors definitely understand how Revit works in the "real world." If you are looking for help understanding Revit beyond modeling walls and windows this is where I recommend you start.
