Despite the author's own glowing review, this book was really disappointing. I am currently reviewing the majority of ADT book offerings for my own use and to recommend/sell to my students at the ATC I am an instructor at. I would recommend Ed Goldberg's or Paul Aubin's book before you think of this one. This book offers little past the basics. For example, the chapter on roof slabs consists of putting a basic ADT roof on a building and converting it to slabs. Cut a hole in it. Youre done. For this youre expected to pay ...? Dont even bother...a very lightweight effort to a very complex program.

Sorry, Elise Moss and Chris Fox but I found this book a waste of my time, explaining less than an Autodesk manual. This book explains nothing I can't find under the program's help. This book skips over area boundaries, simple customization and has yet to answer any of my questions. I don't even think I'll ever reference this book for anything.Very Disapointing.

Written by Elise Moss, an Autodesk Registered Author, and Chris Fox, a successful builder, this textbook focuses on an easy step by step process. Readers will quickly master new skills using detailed examples and exercises that showcase the "why" as well as the "how" of using Autodesk Architectural Desktop to complete a residential design project. The book begins by acquainting readers with the user interface and familiarizing them with the conceptual underpinnings of Autodesk Architectural Desktop software operations. Subsequent chapters enable readers to delve directly into the process of using their software to produce sections and elevations, generate schedules, design layouts, work with details, plot construction documents, manage their layers, create custom AEC content, and more! As a result, readers gain a first-hand understanding of the value of Autodesk Architectural Desktop as a professional design tool. Prior experience using AutoCAD is assumed. However, no prior experience with Autodesk Architectural Desktop is required making this book perfect for today's professional architects, interior designers, facilities planners, and students. Lots of tips, undocumented features, and helpful hints. Educators and students will appreciate the review quizzes and exam included in the text to help focus on new commands and tools.
