| Summary |
"Revit Essentials is a unique learning resource that features concise, straightforward explanations and real-world, hands-on exercises and tutorials to teach new users the software's core features and functions. Each chapter opens with a quick discussion of concepts and learning goals and then briskly moves into an approachable hands-on exercise that readers can follow to gain confidence using the software. Each chapter features compelling full-color screenshots to illustrate tutorial steps, and chapters conclude with a related and more open-ended project to further reinforce the chapter's lessons. Readers can download starting and ending files for the exercises and additional learning tutorials so that they can start anywhere in the book and compare their results with the pro's. Revit Essentials first introduces users to the software's interface and Buidling Information Modeling (BIM) foundational concepts. Following a workflow-based approach that mirrors how projects progress in the real world, the book then guides readers through creating a floor plan, adding and modifying content, creating families, working with curtain walls, advanced modeling and massing capabilities, organizing with groups, using views and phases, annotating and documenting effectively, scheduling, workflow considerations, and tips and tricks drawn from the author's extensive experience. The hands-on exercises in Revit Essentials will get all users up to speed on the program's core functionality so they can quickly become productive with the software. The full-color book also features dataset downloads so readers can jump in anywhere as well as compare their work to the pro's"-- Provided by publisher |
