    Falls short of an Intro. book

    Luckily I'm not new to CAD programs otherwise this book would have turned me away from the Revit program. The book starts off great, explaining what buttons do what and very educational, but that is the best it gets. After the first chapter it is a nightmare. It starts you up drawing up a cabin, and one would quickly become frustrated as the book leaves out several steps in drawing the cabin and leaves you to figure out on your own what windows to select and where to place them. It helped me out a bit in learning what the program is and what it can do, but without a teacher to fill in the blanks this book would be extremely confusing to people new to Revit and CAD programs in general.
