Sinopsis

The Illustrated BIM Reference for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction

Unlock the full power of Building Information Modeling with this comprehensive, visually rich guide to Autodesk Revit. Whether you are an architect, engineer, or construction professional, this fully illustrated handbook walks you through every stage of the BIM process -- from foundational concepts to advanced workflows -- with clear explanations, full-page reference visuals, hands-on examples, and step-by-step instructions.

This edition features 16 full-page illustrated reference spreads embedded throughout the book, including annotated Revit screenshots, complete architectural sheet layouts (A1.01 drawing sets), real project case study boards, 3D axonometric views, building section cuts, perspective renders, and workflow infographics. Every major topic has a dedicated visual reference -- not just text.
