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 !!

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

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.

I would love the Revit Families book, it's just very relevant to what I need to be doing right now. I'll most likely buy it if I dont' win it!

Dwane,
The 'Revit Family tutorial' book will be given as bonus pack. You do not need to put it in your shopping chart. Simply purchase the 'First Residential Design' the you will receive download links for both e-books.

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.
