Commercial Design Using Revit Architecture 2012 is designed for the architectural student using Revit Architecture 2012. The intent is to provide the student with a well-rounded knowledge of tools and techniques for use in both school and industry. This text takes a project based approach to learning Revit Architecture in which the student develops a three story office building. Each book comes with a DVD containing numerous video presentations of the written material. General building codes and industry standard conventions are covered in a way that is applicable to the current exercise.

The first two chapters are intended to get the reader familiar with the user interface and many of the common menus and tools of Revit Architecture 2012. A small office is created in chapter two to show just how easy it is to get started using Revit Architecture. By the end of chapter two the student will be excited and prepared to take on a much larger project.

Throughout the rest of the book the student develops a three story office building. The drawings start with the floor plans and develop all the way to photo-realistic renderings like the one on the cover of this book. In these chapters the many tools and features of Revit Architecture 2012 are covered in greater detail.

About the Videos
The videos contained on the included DVD make it easy to see the menu selections and will make learning Revit Architecture straightforward and simple. At the start of each chapter the reader is prompted to watch a video that previews the topics that will be covered in the proceeding chapter. This allows the reader to be familiar with the menu selections and techniques before they begin the tutorial. Readers will feel more confident in what they are doing and have a better understanding of the desired outcome of each lesson by watching these videos.

Great book.

I took an architectural design course that required the "Essentials" book, but that book was frustrating because of the gaps in its step-by-step instruction. After a couple discouraging weeks, I bought this book by Daniel Stine and actually started learning how to really manipulate Revit. The project in this book is much easier to understand, and the included videos show exactly what's expected. I've had over a decade of 2D experience, but 3D was completely new to me. Now I know how easy it can be. I highly recommend this book & DVD.

Finally, an author who is actually trying to teach! So many tech authors out there are more caught up in showing you how smart they are then they are in taking the time to break the subject down and teach it in clear, concise, everyday language. Stine does that and more. I actually learned this material quite quickly as opposed to authors like Ticoo whom I suggest to avoid like the plague.

I chose this rating because this program made commercial designing much more effective and productive in addition, The book instructions were very clear and easy to understand. I would recommended to all students who have had experience with CADD and those who have no experience.
