''The Aubin Academy Master Series: Revit[registered] Architecture 2012'' combines a straightforward, reader-friendly style with project-focused exercises that encourage learning by doing. Students will gain practical, firsthand experience with the powerful, popular Revit Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, which leading architects and engineers are using to move beyond traditional Computer-Assisted Design (CAD) to manage complex projects, foster collaboration, and boost productivity. This practical text guides students through the process of building design development models and creating a complete set of construction documents for architectural production. By focusing on the rationale and practicality of the Revit Architecture process, the text helps students learn faster and get a clear sense of the software's capabilities and each tool's potential. Author Paul F. Aubin, an architecture professional for over 20 years and a respected Autodesk[registered] expert, also draws on his real-world experience to provide detailed instruction and practical tips, both within the text and in Online Quick Start Videos designed to reinforce student learning.
