Customer Reviews

Very Useful!

I've had the 2008 version of this book and it has always been my number one reference book on Revit. This new version has a lot of useful updates, explanations and samples. Great job!

Mastery Elusive, Mastering Helpful

I bought this title after purchasing and working through _Introducing Revit Architecture 2009: BIM for Beginners_. I had already built a case study building model and needed a reference for the things I wanted to do that weren't covered in the beginner book. Mastering Revit Architecture 2009 has fulfilled that role. I find it more readable than most computer books, a lot less of "insert tab A into Slot 2" instruction that leaves you lost in the middle of it. Still, it isn't about "mastering" the application. Maybe it should be titled _Wrestling with Revit Architecture 2009_ as the more I use Revit the more I realize just how far from mastery I am. For anyone wanting to learn, however, Mastering Revit Architecture 2009 will help you get through.

Excellent Real-Life Guide

As an architect, this book helps with real-life Revit issues, and doesn't focus on simple tutorials that do not address real life scenarios. I often get frustrated with other books, such as those by other authors, that show neat tricks but do not get to the point of real CD production. This book is a valuable guide, and I have bought everyone in the office a copy to relieve pressure on our BIM manager and to speed up production by sharpening everyone's skills. Thanks for a great book!

Another Great Revit Book

I used this book to teach my Revit class. I am very pleased by using this book. The book explores beyond the "picks & clicks" of the software. It really digs into how you can use the software beyond the orthagonal-type buildings. The client showcase within the middle of the book is great because it really shows what is possible within Revit Architecture. Keep up the good work.

Mastering Revit very helpful

Mastering Revit Architecture 2009 (Mastering) While anything as complex as Revit can't possibly be covered in one book, I found this book to be very helpful in my own development with the software. If you don't have a real live 'Revit Master' right at your elbow when you have questions, this is the next best thing.
