Master the software that industry professionals use to create compelling architecture! Experienced-based practical advice is at the core of this concise reference guide by veteran author Paul F. Aubin, who makes learning Autodesk Revit® Architecture 2009 easier than ever. Designed to shorten the learning curve, this book focuses squarely on the rationale and practicality of the Revit® Architecture process through a series of hands-on lessons that promote a clear sense of the value of the software and an understanding of each tool's potential. In completing their building design projects successfully, readers will develop a first hand knowledge of what it takes to build design development models and create a complete set of construction documents for architectural production.
Revit knowledge for everyone
| Customer Rating: | | Paul continues to give the most pertinent information in a format that anyone can use. The beginner to advanced user can always use this book as a quick reference guide. Paul's format of "learn what you need" approach is one of the things that make this book so great. You won't have to go through the first few chapters, just to get to a topic in the middle. Hopefully we will see a rendering book in the future! |
Highly recommended.
| Customer Rating: | Clear and well-organized text, supported by a CD of electronic example files. Working your way through the book and examples will give a solid grounding in using Revit in "real-world" situations. I have recently purchased a number of books on using Revit 2009; this is by far the best. Contains all the information in the other books, and is better organized and written. It also covers both commercial and residential applications.
If your can buy only one book on Revit, this is the best choice. |
MUST HAVE
| Customer Rating: | Aubin's latest edition engages Revit users successfully, whether they are firt-time newbies, intermediate users, or experts looking to refine their best practices.
The book is helpful for those attempting to get HOW and WHY to do things, not just WHAT to do as tutorials or software courses tend to focus on. This is especially critical for somewhat more "advanced" topics, like creating and managing parametric families. Furthermore, Aubin does well to back up concepts and best practices with practical how-to examples provided on CD which accompanies the text.
There is still room for improvement in the text, and Aubin should consider expanding future editions to introduce case studies or examples of how a particular person/role in industry might use the tools differently. For example, although Worksharing overviewed in an appendix, it deserves more full attention where the complexities surrounding Worksharing issues could be made more relevant in hypothetical, narrative examples from industry. "The project architect will be concerned with X, while contrary to that the construction manager should watch out for the following..."
That said, the book is a MUST HAVE for anybody serious about learning and applying Revit Architecture 2009 in their practice. I highly recommend this book, and will be referring to it frequently as I teach my colleagues to embrace BIM tools in my practice. |
Excellent
| Customer Rating:  | | This book helped me to adapt to Revit Architecture 2009 very quickly, with practical and appropriate projects. The text is a bit long-winded, however the detail is necessary and ultimately helpful. It took a lot of time to get through the entire volume but it is certainly worth it, and I recommend it as part of getting the best out of this marvelous software. |
THE Ultimate Revit Reference Guide
| Customer Rating: | Written in a masterful way with clear and concise examples, Paul Aubin's Revit guide is a complete view of Revit from the macro to the micro, from the broad understanding of concepts, to the nitty-gritty of the program. As an instructor and solution provider for hundreds of Revit professional users, I can't think of a book I have recommended or will recommend more than Paul Aubin's Mastering Revit Architecture (Series).
If you have never used a computer to draw before or you are a CAD guru of another software.... whether you are new to Revit, or an Advanced Zen Revit Guru, Mastering Revit Architecture 2009 is the must-have book for your Revit library.
