As mentioned by Andy Milburn in the books forward, Revit is today’s Rotring pen. All the key components in what I believe deliver good architectural design.

It drives you into thinking about creating geometry, proportion and scale. Paul does a marvellous job of taking a 21 st technology and using it to create classical forms, in many ways the building blocks of today’s modern architecture. Are most users creating Renaissance architecture? Maybe? Probably not? But don’t be put off by the name, it’s all about technical process. The book is squarely aimed at the intermediate / power user or people who are looking to push their skills to the next level. Neither the less Paul Aubin sent me a link to his new book, eloquently named Revit Renaissance Creating Classical Architecture with Modern Software. Yet how do you go from being a good competent user to an awesome one? There are plenty of books on the market which teach the basics, but very few that really accelerate your knowledge to super user level. But from a visual perspective I know where things are. I would say that I am knowledgeable in the technology of Revit, with regards to its implementation and deployment, neither the less I wouldn’t say I know ever little button & detail of the tool inside & out & backwards. Also, I lose track of how many people I hear say, ahhhh you can’t do that in Revit, that is probably less relevant these days, as Revit is matured but you often still hear it. How do you succeed in becoming a Revit master? This is a question I often get asked.
