Autodesk Revit Architecture 2014 – No Experience Required – Autodesk Official Press No Experience Required

Learn Revit Architecture with an engaging, real-world continuous step-by-step tutorial

This Autodesk Official Press book helps you become proficient with Autodesk's popular building information modeling software using an innovative continuous tutorial. It covers each phase of designing, documenting, and presenting a four-story office building, a real-world project you might expect to encounter on the job. Concise explanations, focused examples, step-by-step instructions, and an engaging hands-on tutorial make this Autodesk Official Press guide the perfect way to learn Revit Architecture.

Expert author Eric Wing, first introduces the interface and Revit conventions and then moves directly into building modeling. You'll learn to place walls, doors, and windows, work with structural grids, beams, and foundations; add text and dimensions, and use dimensions as a design tool. As the building takes shape, you'll discover how to generate construction documentation, create schedules, consider site issues, and use Revit's rendering capabilities.
* Shows you how to work on a real-world design from start to finish
* Helps you to understand industry best practices and quickly become proficient with the user interface
* Explains how to effectively plan and create walls, doors, window, floors, and ceilings
* Details ways to create professional stairs and railings
* Walks you through using Revit's powerful dimensions, families, worksets, worksharing, and phase management features vEncourages you to show off your design with beautifully lit, fully rendered 3D scenes

Autodesk Revit Architecture: No Experience Required features downloadable tutorial files so you can jump in at any exercise. It's the perfect resource for learning this essential BIM software.

Revit Architecture: No Experience Required teaches Revit Architecture essentials to new users with concise explanations, focused examples, step-by-step instructions, and an engaging hands-on tutorial project developed by the expert author in the course of training thousands of architects and engineers. The opening chapter of this Autodesk Official Training Guide introduces readers to the interface and Revit conventions. Readers then jump right in to modeling a four-story office building, first placing walls, doors, and windows, and then delving into Revits tools so that they fully understand views, grids, and the programs editing capabilities. The books tutorial then progresses as the buildings design would in the real world. Readers will work with structural grids, beams, and foundations; add text and dimensions as well as understand how to use dimensions as a design tool; build floors layer by layer and join them to exterior and interior walls; and create and edit roofs and ceilings as well as stairs, ramps, and railings. Readers will learn how to generate construction documentation, including how to add tags and create schedules and material takeoffs, and use formulas in schedules. Crucial information on detailing, view and match line information, and printing are covered before readers are introduced to such advanced topics as curtain walls, sweeps, and family creation and editing, including embedded families and using formulas. Readers will also learn crucial site considerations, including grading, site components, and the toposurface features before working with materials and Revits rendering capabilities. Finally, readers learn how to import and export to various formats, explore phase management, and create worksets for effective work sharing. The books supporting web site features before and after tutorial files so readers can jump in at any point and compare their work with the pros.
