Review of Autodesk® 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. This training manual provides the basics for understanding the Revit software. The layout of each page is great for visual learners like myself and provides helpful tips and examples. Mr. Clayton provides screenshots of what his screen looks like while working through each example in Revit, allowing the reader to follow along with the instructions perfectly. After reading the entire manual, I feel confident enough to move on to more challenging projects and dive deeper into the software. I would definitely recommend this manual to beginners who are looking to understand the basics of Revit, as well as intermediate Revit users who want to learn a certain aspect of the software fast. Even after completing all of the examples it provides, I still use this manual, because it is a great tool for reference.” —Mikayla Harkey
