Review :
The amount of illustrations with straightforward explanation is a huge help to the student of design. I am impressed with what is offered. It is very precise in the descriptions and the illustrations of the subject matter. I think this is a textbook that is student friendly and I can see students using this book outside of class. This text covers the most important aspects with the downloadable AutoCad and REVIT templates.
