You can divide this book into two halves. The first thirteen chapters cover the basics of Autodesk Revit 2022 Architecture. The second half, from Chapter 14 to Chapter 25, covers the intermediate and advanced features of the software. This book demonstrates in very simple, step-by-step procedures on how to create a building model from scratch using all of the tools the software offers.

Revit Architecture is considered by many to be the best BIM solution in the international market. Autodesk acquired the company in 2002 and the Revit user base is adding hundreds of thousands of users annually. If you are studying at a university or work for a design or construction company, and have decided to use Revit Architecture, youve made the right choice.

This is a comprehensive book about Autodesk Revit 2022 Architecture. It will not teach the reader architecture design, which is a pre-requisite for this book. It can be used as an instructor-led or teach-yourself text-and-project book to help master the basics of Revit 2022 Architecture.

• We prepared two sets of exercises, one for metric units (mm) and the other for imperial (inch, ft).

• At the end of each chapter, you will find Chapter Review Questions that will help you test yourself.

• There are fifty-seven exercises integrated throughout the book, to help the reader implement what has been learned.

• Starting with Revit 2018, Autodesk changed the naming method and combined all of the Revit modules into a single product. So, when you buy the software, instead of Architecture, Structure, and MEP being separate modules, now one product contains all of them. Accordingly, this book teaches the Architecture part of Revit 2022.
