Architectural Modeling in Revit®: The BIM House 2014 - Volume I

Originally developed as part of a college curriculum, this first volume in a two-part series of workbooks walks the reader through modeling a residence using Revit^® 2014. The chapter sequence follows a workflow-based approach that approximates a real-world scenario where the design starts off generic, and progressively becomes more complex and specific. Parametric relationships and constraints – topics often glossed over in other texts – are demonstrated and reinforced right from the start and continue throughout the book. This full-color text employs unique instructional graphics that help guide the reader visually, reducing the amount of reading necessary – when compared to other tutorial style texts – to complete a series of steps.

Note: this text is not intended to be an in-depth reference detailing the "nuts and bolts" or complex underlying concepts of Revit^®. Rather, it is intended to introduce and reinforce building modeling concepts through repetition. While basic explanations are provided throughout the book, it is most effective when accompanied by additional instruction or related reference material.
