In Detail
Commercial Design Using Revit Architecture 2011 is designed
for the architectural student using Revit Architecture 2011. The
intent is to provide the student with a well-rounded knowledge of
tools and techniques for use in both school and industry. This text
takes a project based approach to learning Revit Architecture in which
the student develops a three story office building. Each book comes
with a DVD containing numerous video presentations of the written
material. General building codes and industry standard
conventions are covered in a way that is applicable to the current
exercise.
The first two chapters
are intended to get the reader familiar with the user interface and
many of the common menus and tools of Revit Architecture 2011. A
small office is created in chapter two to show just how easy it is to
get started using Revit Architecture. By the end of chapter two the
student will be excited and prepared to take on a much larger project.
Throughout the rest of
the book the student develops a three story office building. The
drawings start with the floor plans and develop all the way to
photo-realistic renderings like the one on the cover of this book. In
these chapters the many tools and features of Revit Architecture 2011 are covered in greater detail.
Videos
The videos contained on the included DVD make it easy to see the
menu selections and will make learning Revit Architecture
straightforward and simple. At the start of each chapter the reader is
prompted to watch a video that previews the topics that will be
covered in the proceeding chapter. This allows the reader to be
familiar with the menu selections and techniques before they begin the
tutorial. Readers will feel more confident in what they are doing and
have a better understanding of the desired outcome of each lesson by
watching these videos.
