Revit Bible Mar 16, 2008
Revit is great fun if you can figure out how to use it. This book takes you a long way. Like AutoCad, half the battle is knowing what it can do, then you figure out how to get there. This book is still written in geek-speak, so it's not always clear instruction. But it's the best Revit bible I've found so far.

 Reference Manual Mar 04, 2008
It is a good reference manual, but not step-by-step tutorial. It very seldom has examples of how to do's. It is good, if you already somewhat efficient in Revit.

 This Book will add a lot to your Revit education Mar 03, 2008
My recommendation is that Revit beginners buy this book after you have used the Sham Tickoo book. This one is not a simple tutorial book. As has been pointed out there are not a lot of step-by-step instructions, but what I got out of it is the way it takes you to the next level- beyond the basics and shows some more of the intricacies and potential of Revit. For example, the chapter on creating design alternatives within a single project is nowhere to be found in any of the other books I have used. The pics of many different roof types gives brief explanations of their formation- just what I want. I would rather see that than a 20-page explanation of a simple hip-roofed building.
I am a recent(1 week to date) convert to the program and am more impressed everyday with the power and simplicity of Revit.
!!!!!Here is the the great thing about this book- great graphics and lots of it. There are other books which have minimal graphic examples. Don't those authors know who their target market is? We are visually oriented people!!!!!!

Still Have to Draw Feb 02, 2008
The title of my review is more a comment on Revit in general. This book goes a long way and in a detailed, usually, understandable manner to the heart of this program. Having worked in AutoCAD for years now actually helped understanding the interface--similar logic.
What it didn't do well for me--and this goes back to title of this review, was to show how much drawing went on in Revit. The program is sold on its BIM ability, automatic drawing coordination (almost), instant sections, enlarged plans, schedules, etc. All of which it does amazingly well. It wasn't until I worked in an office that had used Revit for several years that I was indoctrinated into the Revit Reality--there is still alot of drawing going on to make the drawings presentable. It's not all automatic. (Learn the difference between a model line and a detail line as soon as possible).
Don't get me wrong--I will never go back, Revit is a beautiful program that can only get better and this book goes a long way toward making that end understandable. Get on board now!

Great book for Intermediate Level User Jan 12, 2008
This book gives you an overview of What Revit can do plus some useful tips. This book is not a steps-by-steps tutorial for beginners. If you already have finished all the Revit basic training and looking for additional resources, this is the one.
