Review of Autodesk(R) Revit Basics Training Manual
"As a newbie to Autodesk's Revit, I had some difficulty trying to learn the basics of the software on my own. However, when I received Brian Clayton's Autodesk's Revit Basics Training Manual, I was overwhelmed with the amount of helpful tips for beginners like me, along with desktop screenshots to help guide me though the drafting process. This training manual truly is a game changer when it comes to giving the reader a clear and very well written guide to the basics of the software.
