The books begins with discussions of key BIM and Revit concepts before giving readers a hands-on look at the Revit interface. Templates, office standards, system families and project settings are explored, with key concepts reinforced by practical, hands-on examples. The authors then explore key modeling principles, including creating a massing study and then moving from the conceptual mass to a real building. Readers then get a deep understanding of design options and features, advanced modeling techniques, and excellent presentation techniques. Feasibility and sustainability studies lead into the discussions of the powerful scheduling and annotation features. The authors then discuss proven workflows, moving from design to documentation, advanced detailing, tracking changes and worksharing before concluding with a chapter on best practices and troubleshooting. A beautiful color insert provides inspirational examples as well as material from the book best shown in color. The book’s supporting website (www.sybex.com/go/masteringrevit2009) includes tutorial files so the readers can compare their work to the experts’.
