      The Mastering Series

      The Mastering series from Sybex provides outstanding instruction for readers with intermediate and advanced skills, in the form of top-notch training and development for those already working in their field and clear, serious education for those aspiring to become pros. Every Mastering book includes the following:

      ● Real-world scenarios, ranging from case studies to interviews, that show how the tool, technique, or knowledge presented is applied in actual practice

      ● Skill-based instruction, with chapters organized around real tasks rather than abstract concepts or subjects

      ● Self-review test questions, so you can be certain you're equipped to do the job right

      What's New?

      The Autodesk Revit team works continuously to improve the software, add new features, and eliminate bugs. It's a constant evolution. Here's a list of the items that have been added or enhanced in the 2016 release.

      Worksets You can now show the status of a Revit link as Closed in the Workset dialog box.

      Shaft Openings The Shaft Opening property Base Constraint is redesigned to default to the level of current activated plan view when you enter the Shaft Opening sketch mode.

      Saved Settings Revit will now remember selected settings like Thin Lines and Snap settings between sessions.

      Dynamic Searching There have been several improvements to context searching throughout Revit.

      ● The Type Selector's search fields have been improved to allow for better dynamic searching.

      ● Revit also allows dynamic searching when you are selecting a view when referencing a plan, section, or callout.

      ● Searching is now available inside individual properties within the Properties palette, dialog boxes, and schedules.

      Background Color Enhancements You can now change the background color within Revit to something besides white or black.

      Linked Files Revit now stores the location of your last linked file as the default for the remainder of your session. So, if you were to link a Revit file into your project as Auto – By Shared Coordinates, that would be the default for the rest of the session.

      Tagged Elements When you're selecting a tag, there are now two new buttons on the contextual ribbon: Show Host and Select Host. Use Show Host to highlight the element that is tagged and use Select Host to select the element tagged.

      Reveal Constraints Mode There is now a new mode in the view control bar that will highlight elements that are constrained within the current view.

      Loading Families Revit now has a button in the Family Editor allowing you to load the family into your project and close the family from editing in a single click.

      Section Box by Selection When selecting an element or elements, there is now an option in the context menu to create a section box surrounding the selected entities.

      Remembered View States Revit will now remember the view states across sessions.

      Performance Improvements There have been several performance improvements made to redraw times and navigation, allowing the view to regenerate faster. This is especially noticeable in larger models.

      Revision Enhancements Several enhancements have been made to the Revisions tool:

      ● You can multiselect in the Sheet Issues/Revisions dialog box.

      ● You can delete revisions.

      ● The Numeric Numbering – Sequence starting number can be customized.

      ● Alphabetic Numbering – Sequence is now called Alphanumeric. Alphanumeric allows multiple characters in the sequence to accommodate custom numbering.

      ● You can add a prefix or suffix to revision numbers.

      Site Editing Revisions have been made to the site tools:

      ● Improved edit and modification times for complex toposurfaces, subregions, and building pads

      ● Regeneration improvements when deleting building pads or modifying building pad geometry

      ● Improved regeneration for cut/fill values when modifying building pad geometry

      Rooms You can now place rooms automatically on the same level with one click: Architecture tab ▶ Room ▶ Place Rooms Automatically. All empty spaces bound by room bounding elements will be filled with a Room object.

      Perspective Views Enhancements have been made to perspective views:

      ● In a Perspective view, you can now select the camera and reset the camera target.

      ● Perspective views can be toggled between isometric and perspective from the contextual ribbon.

      Multiple Wall Joins You can now window-select to modify multiple wall joins at the same time.

      Ray Trace Rendering The Rendering dialog box now has a Rapid Ray Trace feature available for static renderings. RapidRT provides rendering equivalent to mental ray® within Revit.

      What to Expect

      Mastering Autodesk Revit Architecture 2016 is divided into five parts, each representing a milestone in your progress toward becoming an expert Revit user. Here is a description of those parts and what they will show you.

Part 1: Fundamentals

      This book is not intended for novices, but we recognize that not everyone will know how to find every tool or have a complete understanding of the workflow. The chapters in Part 1 help you build a foundation of essential tools and knowledge.

      Chapter 1, “Introduction: The Basics of BIM,” covers principles in building information modeling within your office or project environment.

      Chapter 2, “Applying the Principles of the User Interface and Project Organization,” details the Revit interface and general organization.

      Chapter 3, “The Basics of the Toolbox,” explores the commands and tools within Revit. It gives you an overview of where to find them and leaves the deep dive into their use for the chapters ahead.

      Chapter 4, “Configuring Templates and Standards,” discusses the tools you'll need to develop and manage graphic standards in a project template.

Part 2: Collaboration and Teamwork

      Part 2 sets you on the path toward using Revit on a team or throughout your firm and takes a deep dive into a successful BIM workflow.

      Chapter 5, “Working in a Team,” discusses the critical tools to working with Revit in any project team.

      Chapter 6, “Working with Consultants,” covers the basics of working with team members outside your office.

      Chapter 7, “Interoperability: Working Multiplatform,” details the tools you'll need to share your Revit files with other team members who don't use Revit as a design tool.

Part 3: Modeling and Massing for Design

      In this part, you'll delve into the use of Revit starting from the early stages of design through analysis, iteration, and visualization.

      Chapter 8, “Advanced Modeling and Massing,” details the creating of forms and shapes with the conceptual Revit toolkit.

      Chapter 9, “Conceptual Design and Design Analysis,” gives you an overview of conceptual Revit tools and using those in energy analysis.

      Chapter 10, “Working with Phasing, Groups, and Design Options,” takes the next step after the initial
