For more experienced users, the command reference may introduce you to commands you have not used before or help you with commands you use less frequently. This book will help facilitate your learning of the Revit interface and all of the commands. To help facilitate this, many of the tools include a “Quick Steps” section to explain the tools and options in outline form.
As you learn the tools in Revit you may not need to read the full entry on the tool. In some cases the author’s suggestions or tips about the use of the tool will also be presented. For each command entry you will see a brief description of what the tool will do, how it is used, and the options you will be given as you use the tool. Organizing the book in this way makes it easy to locate each command in the book and understand its use. Within the chapter each button is represented in the book as it appears on the Ribbon from left to right. Each tab of the Ribbon is represented as a chapter in the book.
The book is organized in the same way the Revit user interface is presented. Also included with this book are nearly 100 video tutorials which will further help you master Autodesk Revit.
