Mastering Autodesk® Revit Building is a concise manual focused squarely on the rationale and practicality of the Revit Building process. The book emphasizes the process of creating projects in Revit Building rather than a series of independent commands and tools. 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 of the tools, and a clear indication of each tool's potential. Mastering Revit Building 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 architecture.
