The introduction begins, "Welcome to the smallest and cheapest Revit Book on the Market!". It is indeed the cheapest, and for good reason. It appears incomplete in it's current state.
Instead of a step by step guide, as the back cover suggests, it is more of compliation of screen captures with large type explaining features of the on screen menu. I was expecting "best practices" and "know how" with directions for "how-to", but was disappointed.
Of 139 pages, approximately 100 are of screen captures.
Few things of note, as a heads up:
-There is no section regarding shared parameters. (If there was I wouldn't follow this guy's example based upon the information provided in the rest of the book).
-This book only covers Revit Architecture (incompletely I might add), and does not cover any Structure or MEP specific family content development best practices of features.
-The book is in 20 point type with mostly useless screen captures taking up most pages (not much actual meat to this book).
-I also purchased the below item, which was a huge contrast to this book. I suggest you take a look at the link below instead of this item.
