    The e-book you are offering: “Creating Revit Families” would be most helpful for enhancing the use of Revit by new users. Easy Family creation is the crux of making Revit acceptable by the masses of new users.

    one quick question, what is difference between autocad architecture and revit architecture?

    • http://cad-notes.com Edwin Prakoso

      AutoCAD Architecture is using AutoCAD as CAD Platform. So AutoCAD users might find it is more comfortable to learn it. Revit has it’s own CAD platform, which looks very different than AutoCAD.
      They have their own advantages, that can be a long list. Which one you should use, depends on your scope of work. I suggest you to give it a try before deciding to migrate to Revit.
      But if you never use AutoCAD before, I would suggest Revit.

  • Todd Stevens

    I would like to enter the e-boot giveaway and I would like “Creating Revit Families” because I really need a good instruction book for family creation.

    • http://cad-notes.com Edwin Prakoso

      Chris,
      I don’t know why your country is not listed. But if you have paypal, you should be able to do the payment.

  • john hancock

    with the importance of families and massing is a sad suprise that arent many more books on this difficult subject .

    the majority of existing intructional books are poorly developed and are missing information to aid in the leaning of revit .

    all these writers need to hire and pay people to do the exercises in these books this goes beyond word and spell check !!

    Kepada Yth:

    Bp. Edwin Prakoso

    Salam Pak, saya melihat website bapak.

    Saya mau menanyakan beberapa hal mengenai training Revit dari bapak;

    a. Apakah trainingnya ada 4 bundel atau 1 bundel sudah termasuk semuanya (Learning Revit Architecture 2012 (basic), Advanced Revit Architecture 2012, Revit Architecture 2012 bundle (basic and advanced, dan Revit Architecture Family)

    b. Bagaimana cara pemesanan dan harganya? (Indonesia, posisi saya di Magelang ,Jawa Tengah)

    c. Apakah Revit bisa mengahasilkan RAB langsung? atau kita harus membuatnya manual seperti software cad pada umunya.

    Terima Kasih
