AutoDesk Revit is Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for Microsoft? Windows? that allows the user to design buildings with modeling and drafting elements. BIM is a new Computer- Aided Design (CAD) paradigm that allows for intelligent, 3D, and object-based design. Revit 2010 in Practice provides basic, step-by-step instructions for getting started and using the Revit software. Unlike many competitors, this book covers only the basics to illustrate the myriad 2D/3D drawing and editing functions for this popular yet complex application. Use the DVD to set up all the drawing lessons in the text, see third-party software applications and all of the book's figures in color, and draw with a trial version of Revit 2010.
