Missed the boat!

Ken's 2009 version of this book was one I recommended to every vendor who was just starting to create families for us. It was also required reading for our internal Revit content team. That book explained everything simply, clearly & completely.

This 2011 version is sporadic, incomplete & seems rushed. I even had a novice user read it to see if I was being over critical & they agreed it was bad!

I really hope he rethinks his next version & goes back to what made the 2009 version really good!

Don't waste your money buying this book. You can download the free tutorials from Autodesk and they cover the exact same things. I was very disappointed and returned the book.

This ia an update to the previous version by the author. This is a solid introduction to a simple, but seemingly complex subject.
