Revit Architecture 2020 for Designers

Book excerpt: Building information modeling (BIM) is rapidly replacing AutoCAD as the digital drawing tool of choice for architect and interior designers-and Revit ® Architecture is the leading software package in the BIM marketplace. Neither simplistic nor exhaustive, Revit ® Architecture 2020 for Designers is written specifically for architects and interior designers learning digital drawing for the first time or transitioning from CAD to BIM. Beginning with the building blocks of BIM (levels, walls, windows, and doors), the book progresses through in-depth instructions to create both presentation drawings and construction documents. Advanced features are also covered such as custom families, photorealistic rendering, custom title blocks, and exporting drawings to AutoCAD ® and SketchUp. Instructions are fully illustrated, creating smooth transition to the BIM environment for all designers. Clear, concise, and above all visual, this is the Revit guide written specifically for interior designers and architects.
