An Excellent Introduction
Rated out of 5 stars, January 12th, 2010
This book is perfect for beginners. It starts from explaining the interface (which while sounds boring, is vital to understand) and gradually builds up (pun intended!) your knowledge with using all the different tools. With each chapter showing multiple uses of a single tool and the focus on following through an entire project is extremely good for teaching you skills neccessary to create your projects.
It goes beyond what I expected with chapters on managing and customising the program, creating familys, setting up multi-user collaboration, working with other disciplines, creating topographical exteriors, phasing, and rendering.
It gives a fantastic practical overview of almost the entire program, so that at the end all you need to do is to practise using it and to look into the more advanced options when you come across them.
Beware though, the dimensions are in Imperial feet and inches and require the use of families from the Imperial Libary so make sure you install those along side the metric and using the supplied imperial template, but apart from typing in the dimensions differently, I see no big downside to this.
