Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 1st first edition Text Only Eddy Krygiel Books

I agree with a reviewer who stated two things that stand out about this book: 1) The book instructs the reader to create something like a wall and then has the reader manipulate the creation to make a "big picture" point about the program-- without telling the reader how to create the wall. 2) The "big picture" concepts, such as organizing your work, sharing your work, and manipulating your work are presented before the book goes into details about using the program's finer points to create the work. I believe this is done because the authors assume the reader knows the basics. I am learning the basics while I read this book, and I initially figured I would use the internet to learn how to "draw a wall," when the book instructed me to do do so, without describing how. This can be done, but I didn't realize how time consuming. Why? I believe it has to do (I am still learning) with the fact that Revit is very "contextual." Depending upon where you are in the program, the tool bars, behavior of drawn items, and what a tool will do change. This is very disorienting when learning. It also makes getting online search help difficult. One can google how to draw a sphere, find step-by-step instructions, and still not be able to do it because he didn't start where the internet author started. It's like living in San Diego and asking for directions to Omaha. You will get directions, but the response will assume you live in Seattle (without telling you that the directions assume Seattle, so you think it is based on San Diego, as you asked--but you can see the roads listed in the directions don't match San Diego). This also appears to be a problem with the internal Revit help, wikihelp. It will tell you how to do something, but has to assume you are at a certain point in the program, which you probably are not. So the point is that this is not an easy book for a beginner by itself. It has a companion beginner book by the same authors, I believe, which may be the place to start. However, I am sticking just with this book for now because I am really learning the program this way...

Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 1st first edition Text Only Eddy Krygiel Books Reviews

I have all of the books, being self-taught up until recently. But this one is by a far, far distance better than any others. Every time I pick it up (and I actually enjoy reading it) I get something significant from it. Autodesk basically has a scam to get you to pay almost two hundred an hour to their dealers for training because they give you squat for support, and no old-fashioned manual.
Before I bought this I had hit a wall, paid for about a thousand bucks worth of training with a more reasonable dealer out-of-state, got alot out of it, then this book came along. I would advise both the book and the training, as an advanced user. The key is that the dealers are hungry. The small ones will negotiate. You should be paying less. Try Caddcenters of FL over the net. Really good. BTW I get nothing out of saying that. Period. Just want to save you time.
But buy the book first!
Also, if you are using Autocad anymore, you are wasting your time. Or keep doing it, as Revit passes you by at a hundred miles an hour. Just trying to help.
I've had this book for about two months now and found it to be very helpful. My initial surprise was that there wasn't actually much information per page--the authors like to include a lot of extra space per page or fill up half of it with an enormous graphic of something simple like a few elementary shapes or a few lines and points. So when you see that this book is over 1100 pages, don't think that you can actually master Revit with this book alone. Some of the peculiar behavior of revit that we run into over and over again isn't always covered in this book. For example, they will explain step by step how to import geometry from other software but won't give you enough information to know how to troubleshoot an error when it doesn't work correctly or your imported geometry won't accept object styles or whatever it might be.

So although the book isn't as comprehensive as it suggests, it's very well written and easy to follow. I struggled with Revit for a month or two using online resources before I finally bought this and wish that I did much sooner. It helps you understand why you should do things a certain way and has lots of tips for best practices. More often than not, Revit refuses to be intuitive so you need good learning resources and references. Consider it an investment in preserving your own mental health.
Im trying to cram on revit before starting a new job. I have 17 years industry experience, so i like how the book discusses in depth problems and strategies for managing a revit based project. The book also goes into great detail about ALL the necessary topics you need to know to get your feet wet; walls, ceilings floors, schedules, families, etc... nothing left unturned (other books seam to leave families and scheduling out). However, the book often tells you to do something, but not how to do it. For instance, they tell you to "add a parameter to an object" - but to do so requires going into a sub menu that takes two google searches and forever to find. Or "model a cube, a triangle and a sphere" but with no instruction on how to do so (i have many years 3d modeling experience and creating these shapes was not initially intuitive). The book also feels poorly sequenced. It starts off with some super complex wall manipulation exercises in chapter 1, but doesn't teach you how to build walls until chapter 16. Regardless, im not disappointing with the purchase as i've learned a ton from the book, but i think i could have found a more effecient learning book. lots of typos too.
