Throw out the other books...,

This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 (Paperback)
I have all of the books, being self-taught up until recently. But this one is by a far, far distance better than any others. Every time I pick it up (and I actually enjoy reading it) I get something significant from it. Autodesk basically has a scam to get you to pay almost two hundred an hour to their dealers for training because they give you squat for support, and no old-fashioned manual.Before I bought this I had hit a wall, paid for about a thousand bucks worth of training with a more reasonable dealer out-of-state, got alot out of it, then this book came along. I would advise both the book and the training, as an advanced user. The key is that the dealers are hungry. The small ones will negotiate. You should be paying less. Try Caddcenters of FL over the net. Really good. BTW I get nothing out of saying that. Period. Just want to save you time. But buy the book first! Also, if you are using Autocad anymore, you are wasting your time. Or keep doing it, as Revit passes you by at a hundred miles an hour. Just trying to help. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Excellent Publication Y'all!,

This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful resource for not only beginners, but also for advanced users and managers who want to understand information modeling and VDC (virtual design and construction). There are sections on using formulas, advanced modeling, elaborate write ups on family editing and so much more. I have been referencing several manuals over the last seven years since I started using Revit, but this one is hands down a complete package. This is because most manuals barely skim over these topics but never help one understand it step by step. But the authors in this manual have taken the time to target audiences of varying understanding and it truly works, in my humble opinion.I've known Eddy and Phil for a little over a year as my seniors at HNTB and these guys are always available and willing to help out and share expertise. This is exactly what the book is all about! The other really good thing about this publication is that it covers how to set goals, how to adopt BIM for new users/companies and move onto advanced integration from a Business management standpoint. If this was not enough there are elaborate sections of BIM application in other industries like Film & Stage and Fabrication. More! Design Options has always been my Achilles Heel. Not anymore! All in all this book is packed with goodies for one and all who want to better understand and become experts in this new realm of Architecture. So I recommend this book without any reservation! My heartfelt kudos to Eddy,Phil and James for taking such sincere effort in sharing all their experience and expertise. Pick it up if you are as excited about Revit Architecture 2011 as I am! :) |
