Revit Building Books

[Brian Myers]

I know other threads have talked about Revit Books, but I was curious if anyone has found a Revit book on some of the more advanced aspects that they like? I'm looking for an overview of the process to share Revit drawings between offices, working on very large projects, etc. Perhaps more of a project/cad managers type book for Revit.

I'm likely a month away from really needing it as I want to work my way through my Revit Level 1 & 2 books again to build up speed, (some things are intuitive, others like Families take some practice and are a slightly different way of looking at things). Yes, much of the program is covered in these books, but there has to be a lot more information out there.

I know AUGI is a great resource, yet there gets to be a time where you don't know what you don't know! I'm probably a month or two away from that point and I'd like to get a jump on it.

Thanks for any leads!

There is the implementation book from Phil Read that goes a bit further. Did you got that one ?

I haven't heard of this book.
Where can I get it and what version of Revit is it based on?

[Brian Myers]

Do you know the title of the book?

I did some research and it shows he's with Autodesk consulting services and he's one of their Revit Gurus... it sounds like exactly what I'm looking for!

Version 6.1 :( :cry:

Phil Read surely needs to update this one.

[Brian Myers]

Yes, and it appears to have much of the same information as my current level 2 book, but I'm sure its a good reference book and likely more detailed than the book I have from Ascent (which is very good, yet gets a bit confusing at times until you try the practices multiple times).

Version 6.1 :( :cry:

Phil Read surely needs to update this one.The book is actually written by James Balding and Chris Fox and there is an updated version for released 8.0 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1418020567/qid=1152660676/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-8548828-7512901?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)

I also have Mastering Revit Building which is a very good book. I thought Phil Read had published an advanced book like dhurtubise had mentioned. The one that Cliff gave seems to be a good one to get (AOTC advanced training book).
