4.0 out of 5 starsNobody's perfect, but I appreciate the effort

As one of the original Charles River Software/Revit guinea pigs, I have been using this software and admiring the help and tutorials files that come with it, for a few years. So I was not looking for how-to books, But like most people who have to train others, I have my own favorite authors. Paul Aubin is very good, but Paul is very busy training these days. Cyril Verley is a great trainer, but his books needed a little more editing. Having read the entire 810 pages of the Autodesk Revit Families Guide, this book is far more accessible and useful to the employee whose boss just gave them a week to get the model done. There are some glitches but I always encourage staff to use two sources so they can see the different approaches of different authors.So get this book, and Paul Aubin's book. Or use the Help and Tutorials that come with the product. Good lick, oops, nobody's perfect.
