The text and lessons combine to give an unmistakable sense of the value of the tools introduced as well as a clear indication of each tool's potential. The result is an up-to-the-minute resource that shortens the learning curve and instills confidence and comfort in usage of the software as a tool to create architecture.

5Never out in print fast enough  Oct 05, 2006 By Kenneth D. Cole "Dan Cole"
Paul Aubin has done it again. Like my title says, Paul Aubin's books never come out fast enough for me. This book is a great resource for ADT users. There have been a lot of changes since ADT first came out. The major changes started in ADT 2004 and continue on thru ADT 2007. The changes from ADT 2006 to ADT 2007 are covered very well in this book. He takes you step by step thru a residential project & a commercial project. As you go thru the book he not only shows you how you command(s) work, but also why. He also gets into the subtle changes that have come about, e.g. Visual Styles. The books is arranged in such a way that you can be productive in ADT 2007 as you go along in the book. You don't have to wait until you are completed with the book to be productive. You can also move around in the book to go over a certain part of ADT without having to work your way up to it. For example, if you are just getting thru adding windows & doors & your work project needs to add a roof, you can go to the section of the book that covers roofs & you will be able to understand how to work roofs from reading the section withour having to do the sections before. But, if you can, go thru the book in the order that it's written to get the best grasp of ADT that you can. You can truly expect your skills to rise at least one level from going thru the book.

I would recommend this book to all ADT users, beginning thru advanced. If you are thinking about moving to ADT, get this book so that your learning curve is the shortest possible.

I would also recommend that you get Paul Aubin's book about Mastering Viz Render also. A great resouce for getting the look just right for your ADT model.

4Mastering Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007  Feb 19, 2007 By Nancy B. Phillips "Ronn"
Has excellent tutorials, but difficult to look up a problem.


4Mastering AutoDesktop 2007  Aug 13, 2007 By Linda C. Peters
I was very pleased with the delivery time and quality of the book that I had ordered through Amazon, "Mastering Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007". I will most likely order future books this way.


4Nice Volume-Somewhat brief  Jul 02, 2007 By Levi Gruber "humpty dumpty too"
I found that this text was more an advanced tutorial than it was a standard textbook. The format was a little informal for my taste. Nonetheless, the Author was clearly knowledgeable, and the book provides a lot of necessary information. I was a little taken aback by how little advantage a knowledge of Autocad is in using the more advanced software


4Excellent text but missing items  Mar 14, 2007 By Kevin Weld "CAD Manager"
The text is very well written and explains the topics in more than adequate detail. However, there is supposed to be an accompanying CD with files that follow along with the text that would be helpful, but we never received the CD, not in the book nor a separate delivery. Aside from that, we are very happy with the information contained within the text itself.
