Mark1965 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi Can any one recommend a good book to start to learn revit with please, i printed of the revit tutorial before i was made redundant, but i am looking for something a bit easier. Somthing like revit for dummies lol:unsure: . I use autocad at the moment but would like to get a feel or exposure to revit as they say for when the job market expands in the future.

StevenMc Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 i've heard Introducing Revit Architecture for Beginners is a good book to start off with. i myself am not familiar with Revit yet but others in my office found this useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noahma Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The new Paul Aubin book is due out next month on the 7th. Mastering Revit Architecture 2010. I highly recommend his books. I used his Autocad Architecture book to learn that program, and will be ordering the Revit book here in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Noahma Do these books start you of from the basics or do they expect you to know them already?. And StevenMC thanks for your input i will check it out. The only problem is my local bookshops dont stock these types even the waterstones, but play has Mastering Revit Structure 2010 for £35, at the moment that is a lot of money to me so i need to be sure as i have to pay for my 2nd year HNC myself :(this time so funds are very tight. I bought the autocad 2007 bible when i first started and found it was a bit too much so i got the autocad for dummies and that was much easier to learn, and i now use the bible for refrences to problems or other things.

StevenMc Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 have you tried looking for some on the internet and checking reviews etc? you might be able to get some good priced ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1965 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi StevenMC I can get the one you recommended for £25 they seem the cheapest so far, or Mastering Revit Structure 2009 for £28 thnx. I was in the process of just starting to learn it when i was made redundent, but what i saw was great even on our low spec pc. This is just something to learn and practice at home.

Thanks Mark He starts his books as if you have never opened the program before. And they follow projects from start to completion, covering multiple ways of doing things. Great books if you ask me. They are pricey, but hey its better than spending 800.00 usd for classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Have you tried the Autodesk Website? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...12&id=11091739 This is the architecture one, but the structure one can be downloaded through the Revit Program.
