SKU:  

Availability:   Usually ships in 1 business days
 

This concise manual goes beyond a simple rundown of tools and commands to examine and explain the process of creating professional-quality building design projects using the newest release of AutoCAD Architecture (formally Autodesk Architectural Desktop). Content focuses squarely on the rationale and practicality of the software through life-tested, practical lessons that emphasize the "why" as well as the "how" in order to help professionals complete their projects successfully. Text and lessons combine to deliver a clear sense of the value of the tools introduced as well each tool's potential. The result is a fully up-to-date resource that shortens the learning curve and builds confidence and comfort in using the software as a tool to create architecture.

4Great for a beginner.  Apr 30, 2008
I had already completed the Mastering Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006. I updated to 2008 and I use it professionally on a daily basis. This book excels at teaching Autodesk Architecture 2008 to a user who has already mastered AutoCAD and wishes to transfer to Autodesk Architecture. Everything is explained step by step from the start of a project to the finish. commercial and residential. For that, the book is fantastic. My only complaints are that the book is sometimes a little scattered and I wish this book would go in to the real underlying workings of the program. There are some Advanced program options that this book does not cover. otherwise, the tutorials are correct and provide the correct information. Furthermore, the author can be found posting in the Autodesk discussion groups which is a big plus. This book gets a solid four stars.

5Really easy to understand book AAAAA+  Apr 02, 2008
This is one of the best books I have read for Autocad. It is Autocad Architecture 2008. I was able to do exercises easily without hitting a brick wall. Amazing author. Not many books are this good. Buy it you won't regret it. It doesn't have anything about rendering as one reader pointed out. The goal of this book is different. Anything by this author is great.

1nothing on the rendering feature  Mar 28, 2008
I bought this book hoping to learn the rendering feature but to my disappointment it has nothing on the subject. I have bought a few of these books in the past and I learned quite a bit, but it seems the same stuff keeps getting reprinted.

if you have bought these before, you will learn nothing new.

5Mastering AutoCad Architecture  Feb 24, 2008
This is a very informative book after trying to get a grip on the other books I've tried to study along with. This book is an excllent read and study book for all areas of Cad users interested in the Architecture aspect of it.
