Mastering Autodesk® Architectural Desktop 2005 is a concise manual focused squarely on the rationale and practicality of the ADT process. The book emphasizes the process of creating projects in ADT as an interconnected series of objects, rather than a series of independent commands and routines. The goal of each lesson is to help the reader complete their building design projects successfully. Tools are introduced together in a focused process with a strong emphasis on "why" as well as "how." The text and exercises seek to give the reader a clear sense of the value and potential of each tool and procedure. Mastering Autodesk® Architectural Desktop 2005 is a resource designed to shorten your learning curve, raise your comfort level, and, most importantly, give you real-life tested practical advice on the usage of the software to create architectural designs.
