Introduction to Revit Architecture 2017. In 12 steps from design model to building model. With example files available for download. The term BIM - Building Information Modeling - was coined by the manufacturer Autodesk for the software Revit Architecture and has quickly taken over the entire CAD world. Indeed, the software offers new possibilities for capturing and analyzing data for a 3D model of a building; however, this requires a shift in thinking in some areas of CAD design. The author demonstrates concepts, problems, and solutions through a practical example, enabling newcomers and those transitioning to learn the fundamentals of the program as quickly and smoothly as possible. For each of the logically structured chapters in the book, corresponding example data is available for download.
