3.0 out of 5 stars A verbose tome that scratches the surface, September 3, 2006
This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Building (Paperback)
Compared to the online help, this book reviews favorably. But Revit is a deep program, and to really use Revit efficiently and fully takes more than an "intermediate" book will offer, which the Aubin text admits to being. I say the text is verbose because, for instance, it always refers to Revit as "AutoDesk Revit Building", which gets very tiring. The book introduces Revit by designing two projects, which is nice, but a lot of the useful information is hidden in little sidebar tips, which makes using the book as a reference (for instance, as a command reference) difficult.

This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Building (Paperback)
Overall a terrific book - especially the chapter on Families. I recommend this book along with "Introducing and Implementing Autodesk Revit Building," (by L.C. Fox & J.J Balding) as a relatively thorough self-training course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mastering Autodesk Revit Building, August 22, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Revit Building (Paperback)
I purchased this book because of the favorable reviews I read from this site. I wasn't dissapointed...this book delivered. I just recently got hired by a major architectural firm that uses Autodesk Revit Building. My background is Autocad ADT 2006 and have no idea at all what Revit is all about. Two weeks prior to my start with this new firm, I bought this book and diligently went through all of Mr. Aubin's tutorials every night. Now, two weeks into this new company, I am even, if not more advanced, with all their employees (they took the transition to Revit ten months ago)! On a few occasions, I had some questions pertaining to the book and Mr. Aubin had graciously replied promptly to these inquiries by email. If you're not yet using Revit, then you're missing a lot. This is the future of CAD. And if you decide to switch, this book is a must! Thanks for a great book Paul!
