Acknowledgments Ah, acknowledgments Although all the glory of writing a book is consumed by the authors, it takes so many more people than just us to actually make this happen Just like building design, the process of writing and publishing a book is truly a team sport—and without the hard work, dedication, and willingness to put up with the authoring team, this book would have never have happened Of all the people to thank, first of all, we’d like to thank the staff at the Revit Factory Without their fine work, this would be a very empty book Thank you, guys and gals, for your hard work, innovative ideas, and desire to stay in touch with current design and construction issues Second, a thank-you goes to Brendan Dillon of the Denver International Airport for his wonderful foreword and, more important, the spectacular work he’s done In his time there he’s spearheaded the creation of a very comprehensive BIM guideline to help his agency figure out what they want from BIM during design and construction and into operations; see http://business.flydenver.com Finally, a big thanks to our technical team They dot our i’s, cross our t’s, and chide us every time we turn in something late Their work and effort ensure that we as authors can produce something that you the reader can actually follow So a thank-you to our developmental editor, Kelly Talbot, for putting up with our school-yard antics; to copy editor Liz Welch for taking our architectural slang and making it readable; and to production editor Becca Anderson for putting all the pieces together and getting it ready for print Thanks also to Mary Beth Wakefield for watching the schedule and allowing us to use you as an excuse not to visit family on weekends or holidays during “Book Season.” A thank-you to Jon McFarland and Eric Bogenschutz, technical editors, who have given a careful and detailed eye to all of our Revit workflows, and to our excellent support team at Sybex, who helped us develop all this foxy content And a final thank-you to Willem Knibbe for getting us into this in the first place The building photograph on the cover was provided by photographer John Linden and features the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) designed by HOK ARTIC is a new world class transportation gateway to Orange County, California, the 5th most densely populated county in the United States The project links freeways, major arterial roadways, bus, taxi and rail systems, as well as bike and pedestrian pathways in one central location ARTIC anchors the Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC), a high-capacity, fixedguideway transit system and will be the southern terminus of the California High Speed Rail which will link the State’s southern and northern urban centers The use of BIM on ARTIC helped engage the many engineers, builders, and public agencies involved in the project For more information on this project, please visit the following web page: http://www

and a principal at HOK in New York City, where he is a member of the firm-wide BIM leadership and is managing its buildingSMART initiatives A graduate of the New York Institute of Technology, he worked in residential and small commercial architecture firms performing services ranging from estimating and computer modeling to construction administration James transformed from an architect to a digital design manager in his 10-year span at SOM In this capacity, he pioneered the implementation of BIM on such projects as One World Trade Center, aka Freedom Tower James has been using Revit since version 3.1 and has lectured at many industry events, including Autodesk University, VisMasters Conference, CMAA BIM Conference, McGraw-Hill Construction, and the AIANYS Convention He is a cofounder of the NYC Revit Users Group, and has been an adjunct lecturing professor at the NYU School for Continuing and Professional Studies as well as the Polytechnic Institute of NYU James has served as the chair of the Design work group for the National BIM Standard-US and has been a long time contributor to the Level of Development (LOD) Specification Eddy Krygiel is a senior Business Consultant with the AEC team with Autodesk Consulting Eddy focuses on BIM and technology workflows for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) clients He received his bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Design He has almost 20 years of experience in architectural offices and on a range of projects from single-family residential to office, federal, civic, and aviation clients Eddy has helped firms around the country at both the firm level and the project level His most recent project was the Denver International Airport, where he had the role of BIM Manager for the Program Management team The BIM role involved supporting and steering stakeholder workflows from design through construction while not impacting the overall project fee or schedule The final deliverable to the airport was a facility management–ready BIM model for both vertical and horizontal assets Eddy has also led or been involved in other large-scale projects that have taken BIM beyond documentation Eddy is the author of more than 15 books on BIM and sustainability including the Mastering Revit series and Green BIM He also teaches BIM, construction documents, and architectural communication at the University of Kansas School of Architecture www.EngineeringEBooksPdf.com www.EngineeringEBooksPdf.com 958  | documentation • elements
