 MUST HAVE October 6, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Aubin's latest edition engages Revit users successfully, whether they are firt-time newbies, intermediate users, or experts looking to refine their best practices.
The book is helpful for those attempting to get HOW and WHY to do things, not just WHAT to do as tutorials or software courses tend to focus on. This is especially critical for somewhat more "advanced" topics, like creating and managing parametric families. Furthermore, Aubin does well to back up concepts and best practices with practical how-to examples provided on CD which accompanies the text.
There is still room for improvement in the text, and Aubin should consider expanding future editions to introduce case studies or examples of how a particular person/role in industry might use the tools differently. For example, although Worksharing overviewed in an appendix, it deserves more full attention where the complexities surrounding Worksharing issues could be made more relevant in hypothetical, narrative examples from industry. "The project architect will be concerned with X, while contrary to that the construction manager should watch out for the following..."
That said, the book is a MUST HAVE for anybody serious about learning and applying Revit Architecture 2009 in their practice. I highly recommend this book, and will be referring to it frequently as I teach my colleagues to embrace BIM tools in my practice.
 Excellent October 6, 2008
This book helped me to adapt to Revit Architecture 2009 very quickly, with practical and appropriate projects. The text is a bit long-winded, however the detail is necessary and ultimately helpful. It took a lot of time to get through the entire volume but it is certainly worth it, and I recommend it as part of getting the best out of this marvelous software.
THE Ultimate Revit Reference Guide September 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Written in a masterful way with clear and concise examples, Paul Aubin's Revit guide is a complete view of Revit from the macro to the micro, from the broad understanding of concepts, to the nitty-gritty of the program. As an instructor and solution provider for hundreds of Revit professional users, I can't think of a book I have recommended or will recommend more than Paul Aubin's Mastering Revit Architecture (Series).
If you have never used a computer to draw before or you are a CAD guru of another software.... whether you are new to Revit, or an Advanced Zen Revit Guru, Mastering Revit Architecture 2009 is the must-have book for your Revit library.

Lots of beginner books available for Revit, but not many get into the thick of the features of Revit. This book is layered to provide simple instructions on getting started and extensive commentary on the what and why of the software. Good book for the professional architect looking for the relevance of Building Information Modeling.
THE Revit book to own. September 10, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the first and last book you will need for working with Revit Architecture 2009. It's great for those just getting started using Revit, as well as more advanced users. The concise and practical step by step instructions are written in simple terms which make them easy to follow and understand. Every chapter contains dozens and dozens of very clear and helpful examples and screen captures, that perfectly illustrate the features and procedures being explained.
I have purchased several of Paul Aubin's books in the past and have always found them invaluable. As an architect and CAD/BIM Manager of almost 20 years, I have not found a better resource for any Revit related questions I may have, no matter how basic or complex. I highly recommend this book.
