These are not just a few quick 30 second videos either – there are 96 videos which works out to a whopping 1.7 GBs of content.Īnother nice thing about the book is its size – it is a BIG book! 736 full sized 8 1/2″ x 11″ pages. If all of that is not enough for you, there is also a code inside each book that gives you access to a downloadable library of videos. You will also notice the book is more than just “Picks & Clicks” for each command (but those are there).Īnd “Quick Steps” to get you working on a command quickly if you need to learn something on the fly…. Each tab of the ribbon is represented as a chapter…each button is represented in the book as it appears on the Ribbon from left to right.”Īs you work your way through the book, you will find that ALL topics are covered including old favourites and brand new ones too. I think the best way to describe the book is with a few excerpts from the authors’ forward: “The intent of this book is to provide the reader with an easy to use command reference.” “The book is organized in the same way the Revit user interface is presented. So then what is it you ask? Well, as the name would suggest, it’s a reference book and a very well laid out one at that! This isn’t the typical book about the Revit workflow with examples followed by practice exercises for you to try. I will start by saying this is not your standard Revit book – it’s not set up like a textbook from your school days.
