"Revit is rapidly replacing AutoCAD as the digital drawing tool of choice for architects and interior designers. This book aims to help design students master Revit as a tool in the design studio and in practice. Revit Architecture 2022 for Designers provides both a thorough primer for new learners and expanded conceptual discussion for design professionals. The progressive introduction of concepts (chapters build on previous chapters), digital exercises, and professional examples make this book easy to follow for learners new to Revit. Packed with visual examples, this book is written specifically for architecture students and interior design students. What's new to this edition? ʺ Instruction Graphics updated for Revit Architecture 2022 features and user interface ʺ New instruction for drawing with metric units ʺ New instruction on importing PDFs (Ch 3), Photorealistic Rendering (Ch 7), and Advanced Modeling (Ch 10)"--
