Practical Architectural Modelling with Autodesk Revit®

This book guides you through a collection of practical modelling exercises to help you learn the fundamental skills needed to model a building using Autodesk Revit®. The contents are based on our extensive experience using Autodesk® products, and on tried and tested training methods that we’ve employed successfully with many of the industry’s leading architectural practices. Each chapter is broken down in the same way, into small, easily understandable tasks. The text begins with an overview of what the tools you’ll be using do, and where you’ll find them. You’ll then be presented with a series of short step-by-step exercises that give you practical, hand-on experience using the tools. Individually, each chapter is designed as a stand-alone reference guide, so if you can’t quite remember how a certain tool works, you’ll be able to prompt your memory by looking at the relevant chapter. While we won’t be covering every setting of every tool, we have aimed this book at the important aspects of Autodesk Revit® that will get you modelling productively, quickly, drawing on our experience of what works best rather than every possible iteration of settings.
