We dedicate Mastering Autodesk Revit 2020 to our wives, families, and loved ones, who have supported the pursuit of our careers and the authoring of this book. Their encouragement, understanding, and flexibility with personal time is what made this body of work possible. We would also like to say thank you to Eddy Krygiel, who has contributed so much to previous volumes of this book; his insight, humor, and friendship are truly appreciated.

Bob, Marcus, Lance

Just like building design, the process of writing and publishing a book is truly a team sportand without the hard work, dedication, and willingness to put up with the authoring team, this book would never have happened. Of all the people to thank, first we'd like to thank the staff at the Revit Factory. Without their fine work, this would be a very empty book. A special thanks to the two product managers, Harlan Brumm and Sasha Crotty. And a huge thank you to the rest of the Factory: thank you gang, for your hard work, innovative ideas, and desire to stay in touch with current design and construction issues.

Also, a big thanks to our technical team. They dot our i's, cross our t's, and chide us every time we turn in something late. Their work and effort ensure that we as authors can produce something that you the reader can actually follow. So a thank you to our amazing and patient developmental editor, Mary Ellen Schutz, for putting up with our excuses and typos; to copyeditor Kim Cofer, indexer Johnna VanHoose Dinse, and proofreader Kathryn Duggan for taking our slang and making it readable; and to production editor Barath Kumar Rajasekaran for putting all the pieces together and getting it ready for print. A thank you to Eric Stimmel, technical editor, who has given a careful and detailed eye to all of our Revit workflows, and to our excellent support team at Sybex, who helped us develop all this foxy content. As we continue our book writing journey, we are encouraged by Eddy Krygiel's last words to the authoring team, You got this!

And finally, a few words for the cover picture! The authoring team always finds the selection process our biggest challenge.With all the wonderful Revit projects developed each year, selecting one to represent our book is always a difficult task. For this year, we are pleased to show Moscone Center (photo credit - Cesar Rubio).

Designed by SOM with Mark Cavagnero Associates, the expanded and improved Moscone Center is a memorable work of architecture that brings natural light and transparency to interior spaces while activating the adjacent streetscape and public realm. Above-grade improvements and additions were made within the building's existing footprint, allowing for the enhancement of current open space and potential new retail opportunities. Former surface parking and vehicular circulation were replaced with 25,000 square feet of pedestrian-friendly areas, and an additional 8,000 square feet created a new children's play area and multiple outdoor terraces that provide dramatic city views and can be used for a variety of events.

The improved Moscone Center creates fewer carbon emissions per visitor than any major convention center in North America. It also saves more than five million gallons of water annually and generates clean energy with the largest rooftop solar installation in San Francisco.
