Architect, BIM implementer, and Authorized Autodesk Author Eddy Krygiel and Revit gurus Greg Demchak and Tatjana Dzambazova developed this practical reference and tutorial based on years of experience using Revit and teaching others to do so. 'Mastering Revit Architecture 2008' emphasizes real-world scenarios and workflows and is organized by how users learn and implement Revit. This book features detailed explanations, real-world examples, and practical tutorials to help readers understand Revit and BIM concepts so that they can quickly start accomplishing vital Revit tasks, develop Revit expertise, and leverage the full power of BIM.
Mastering Revit begins with analysis of the challenges facing today's architects, the concept of BIM (Building Information Modeling), which is the philosophy and principles on which Revit is based. The book then introduces tactical approaches dealing with standards and documentation before moving on to real-life project examples that demonstrate key concepts in Revit. This thorough book covers a wide gamut of knowledge and experience—from advanced interface tips to coordinated documentation, rendering, and BIM and sustainability concepts.
Mastering Revit's CD features all the tutorial files necessary to complete the book's exercises, sample families, other useful resources, and a trial version of the Revit software.
