 Disjointed, Incomplete, and Many Text Errors, CD files corrumpted Aug 23, 2007
By Moses Drake
I started reading the first chapter, and I thought, "This book is great. Great introduction to BIM." I found one sentence error and was like, "It doesn't matter; it's just one error," until I read further and further on.
Tutorials are disjointed! The examples are often not described smoothly and capable of following along -- unless it is bumps and crashes you like. I find my self writing in the book, adding information needed to the steps and example to actually be complete. At first it was a couple time, then by chapter 4 & 5 it was getting ridiculous.
Examples? This is just for Chapter 4.
p94: step 1 states "Select the Wall" yet the book has not told us from what file name from the entire CD we use to select "that one there wall."
p104: step 3 states "Top" when Revit refers to it specifically as "Height"
p104: step 3 states Loc Line to "Centerline" when Revit clearly only has one selection as "Wall Centerline"
p116-7: describes to draw a roof that follows the wall outlined, and is not a rectangular roof. Then continuing on page 117, the roof is SUDDENLY RECTANGULAR.
p117: step 11 tells us to "Finish Sketch," YET we were already told to hit "Finish Sketch" in Step 8. It's like telling someone to finish a cup of water twice with only one glass of water.
p117: step 12 states to change to metal roof, yet the roof is already metal (Generic - 12")
p119: step 3 state, "When you're got a closed loop of lines. ... " Folks this is not even a sentence, much less correct English.
p125: missing image for fig.4.83
p131: step 9 does not show lock icons as stated
p139: does not illustrate or describe where to "finish the other bathroom.
p141: reference to file name on CD is incorrect
p143: step 5 states "finish the sketch to see the resulting 3D geometry" yet the referring figure 4.122 is a 2D plan view. To properly see the result of editing 3D geometry in a 2D sketch view, you need to see more than just a 2D view result.
In addition, I found a file corrupted on the CD, which is accompanied with the book. The book sometimes references the CD file correctly and other time you must find what file the book is talking about.
I'm sick of incompleteness. However, if your determined you can make your way through this book the book will help you -- but only if your really computer literate already.
This book I consider as a rough draft.

 Excellent book for beginers Oct 12, 2007
By Marcis Luksevics
I read this book A-Z and it helped a lot. Although i already have made one little revit project before reading this book, there were a lot of useful tips. I liked the way book tells about revit - everything's written from architects sight not techno-geek's.
Only four stars because there were too less information about revit families - thats very important even for beginers.

This book confuses me Aug 23, 2007
By J. Dobbins
My experience using "Introducing Revit Architecture 2008" by Krygiel, Demchak, and Dzambazova is not positive. I consistently find that the images given in the book do not match the screens, menus, and dialog boxes I see in the Revit Product. It looks like the book was written with a previous release of Revit Architecture. While it possible to eventually find the items the book mentions, I found this book very frustrating to use as a means for learning the software. I waste too much time trying to find the items the book is describing because the book's graphics do not match the Revit screens.

Full of Redlines Jun 22, 2008
By M. Cheung
"if lines can talk"
This is a difficult tutorial book to read and to follow. The coordination between the text, graphics, images, and cd-rom files are sketchy at best. It is just difficult to learn Revit because I often find myself troubleshooting the errors in this book. The people who read this book are in the building industries and picking up redlines and xrefs are very important. How can a book that suppose to teach Revit, a program that promotes drawing coordination, lacks these vital attributes? This is just absurd.
