With more than twenty-five years of experience as a licensed architect, author Mark S.

• Complete step-by-step exercises with Revit’s powerful modeling tools
• Create and combine basic, intermediate, and complex roof shapes
• Prepare visually compelling 3-D presentations and accurately buildable construction drawings.

Richly illustrated with photographs of real-world houses, Residential Roof Design Using Autodesk® Revit® helps you model diverse roofs from jerkinheads to witch’s hats. Read on to master one of the most challenging skills in residential design and begin creating fine residential works of architecture.
