Summary

Revitreg; Architecture 2011: A Comprehensive Guideoffers students a hands-on series of tutorials, arranged hierarchically, to acquaint them with the features and methodology of the Revit 2011 program. Once a student has successfully completed the basic exercises, he/she can then move on to the final project, which puts all the exercises together and illustrates the development of a real-world project from start to finish. Written by a practicing architect and educator, this text appeals to architects, architectural draftsmen, and students because it approaches the use of Revit for real-world application from the perspective of a professional in the field.
