Im trying to cram on revit before starting a new job. I have 17 years industry experience, so i like how the book discusses in depth problems and strategies for managing a revit based project. The book also goes into great detail about ALL the necessary topics you need to know to get your feet wet; walls, ceilings floors, schedules, families, etc... nothing left unturned (other books seam to leave families and scheduling out). However, the book often tells you to do something, but not how to do it. For instance, they tell you to "add a parameter to an object" - but to do so requires going into a sub menu that takes two google searches and forever to find. Or "model a cube, a triangle and a sphere" but with no instruction on how to do so (i have many years 3d modeling experience and creating these shapes was not initially intuitive). The book also feels poorly sequenced. It starts off with some super complex wall manipulation exercises in chapter 1, but doesn't teach you how to build walls until chapter 16. Regardless, im not disappointing with the purchase as i've learned a ton from the book, but i think i could have found a more effecient learning book. lots of typos too.
