Reader ReviewsMy 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!!!!!!
