Reviews

I genuinely love this text book, and so do my students. It is short, sweet, and to the point. Other Revit textbooks are too large, too wordy, and not as clear. The Seidler text is unique because it is straightforward, and the blue summary pages with checklists at the end of each chapter are very helpful. I think this is the best beginner Revit textbook on the market. -- Julia Day, Kansas State University * Revision Review Program *
