4.0 out of 5 stars Not as exhaustive as you might think, but a top notch resource, Nov 27 2011
By T. Peterson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 (Paperback)
I've had this book for about two months now and found it to be very helpful. My initial surprise was that there wasn't actually much information per page--the authors like to include a lot of extra space per page or fill up half of it with an enormous graphic of something simple like a few elementary shapes or a few lines and points. So when you see that this book is over 1100 pages, don't think that you can actually master Revit with this book alone. Some of the peculiar behavior of revit that we run into over and over again isn't always covered in this book. For example, they will explain step by step how to import geometry from other software but won't give you enough information to know how to troubleshoot an error when it doesn't work correctly or your imported geometry won't accept object styles or whatever it might be.

So although the book isn't as comprehensive as it suggests, it's very well written and easy to follow. I struggled with Revit for a month or two using online resources before I finally bought this and wish that I did much sooner. It helps you understand why you should do things a certain way and has lots of tips for best practices. More often than not, Revit refuses to be intuitive so you need good learning resources and references. Consider it an investment in preserving your own mental health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, July 21 2011
By Juan C. Arias - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 (Paperback)
This is the most complete and advanced reference book for anyone who is in the process of learning Revit. As an expert Revit user with over six years of experience, I can say with confidence that this book covers everything from the basic tools to the most advanced and complex topics. It is easy to see that the authors have a deep, practical knowledge in the use of the software. The book is organized in a very logical, coherent way. Chapters one through four cover the general concepts behind BIM, the basic Revit tools, and workflow best practices. The book also includes a chapter on advanced modeling with very interesting exercises. As a project designer, I really appreciate Chapter 12: a complete chapter devoted to visualization. This book is about the proper use of the software, and it can really help you whether you are starting to learn Revit or you are a seasoned user. The return on investment for this well-written book can be measured by your increased ability to design and produce quality architecture.

Thank you to James, Phil, and Eddy for a job well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid resource, Jun 12 2011
By cb101 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 (Paperback)
Thick with info on every aspect of the program, this book helped me with the hard stuff; families, stairs, masses, really understanding Revit's capabilities. If you want to know how to make your projects parametric, with an eye towards sustainability, Chapter 21 is a great resource.
