The expert authors developed this practical reference and tutorial based on years of experience using the program and training others to do so. Unlike the competition, Mastering Revit Architecture is organized by how users learn and implement Revit and features detailed explanations, interesting real-world examples, and practical tutorials to help readers understand Revit and BIM concepts so that they can quickly start accomplishing vital Revit tasks.
The books begins with discussions of key BIM and Revit concepts before giving readers a hands-on look at the Revit interface. Templates, office standards, system families and project settings are explored, with key concepts reinforced by practical, hands-on examples. The authors then explore key modeling principles, including creating a massing study and then moving from the conceptual mass to a real building. Readers then get a deep understanding of design options and features, advanced modeling techniques, and excellent presentation techniques. Feasibility and sustainability studies lead into the discussions of the powerful scheduling and annotation features. The authors then discuss proven workflows, moving from design to documentation, advanced detailing, tracking changes and worksharing before concluding with a chapter on best practices and troubleshooting. A beautiful color insert provides inspirational examples as well as material from the book best shown in color. 840 pp.
