Exceptional Partner

I am a Student Architect and I found the book to be well laid out. The Author recommends reading the book from front to back (chapter by chapter); however, in the event you start in the middle you would be able to catch on easily. Any topic mentioned in a particular chapter, covered in a previous chapter is referenced (if Display Systems is mentioned in chapter 5 then the book tells you "see chapter 2", where it is covered. At a glance you are able to identify pertinent topics from the table of contents which makes it easy for referencing. Scott ONSTOTT took the liberty of explaining the concepts of Autodesk Architectural Desktop which made it easier to understand as well as remember commands and also procedures (the name is changed from Autodesk Architectural Desktop to Autodesk Architecture for versions 2008 and onwards). Every term is explained. A person without any experience with Architectural Desktop would be able to master the software at their own pace. This is a perfect reference partner for me. I would buy any book written by Scott ONSTOTT without reading any review.

Bought this book and read it on-line

I bought this book and also bought the privelege of reading it on-line because I normally live in America but am now in Brazil and I had it shipped to My home in America but I found that I was going to be in Brazil for a long while. On the read on-line privelege, I didn't get the info on the DVD so I was kind of stuck but I emailed the Author and he was very nice and put the DVD info on his sight for me so that I could download it and he was very very helpful. This book is outstanding for learning ADT from the ground up. I am a cronic studier and so I have bought many books on learning many things but I think this book is the best of all those that I have studied, not only because of the book itself but for the pleasantness of the Author.

Excellent resource

I recently purchased Mastering Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006, by Scott Onstott, and have already found it to be an invaluable resource in my transition from AutoCAD LT 2002 to Autodesk's Architectural Desktop 2006. Admittedly; I still have not completely finished the book, yet it has already proven to be an essential tool to transition to Architectural Desktop 2006. Previously, the amount of information needed to reach drawing proficiency and remain productive at work has been the primary reason I have not upgraded my AutoCAD platform. It wasn't until I found this book and started the tutorials I gained the skills and confidence to upgrade to such a far superior program. Without a doubt, one of the book's greatest strengths is its dual functionality. For example, when time permits I can sit down and follow along with the tutorials for an in depth learning experience similar to a classroom type lecture. At the same time, the book is a great reference tool for the times when deadlines are pending and production is essential. I would give this book and excellent review and recommend it to others in my office.
