Yeah. It’s a real thing. I made a comic book about Revit fundamentals.
After years of teaching Revit, I noticed a pattern. There were always a handful of concepts, the foundational stuff, that I kept coming back to. The things that, once someone actually got them, made everything else click. And every time I explained them, I’d end up at the whiteboard. Sketching. Doodling. Making it visual.
So, what if the whiteboard was the lesson?
Blending that idea with a lifelong love of comics, I put together A Little Comic About… Revit Fundamentals. No mouse required. No software open. Just concepts, explained the way I’d explain them in person — with pictures.
It’s not a software manual. It’s not a step-by-step tutorial. It’s the stuff that lives underneath the tutorials, the mental models that make Revit make sense.
Things like: why does Revit fight you when you try to do something that seems totally reasonable? (Spoiler: it’s usually not a bug. It’s a philosophy.) Or why do families work the way they do? These aren’t things you Google. They’re things someone explains to you once, and you never forget.
This book is for the person who just got handed a Revit project and needs to get their bearings. It’s for the experienced user who keeps bumping into the same wall and wants to understand “why”. And honestly, it’s for anyone who learns better with pictures than with paragraphs.
I’ve been teaching this software for a long time. I’ve watched people struggle with the same concepts over and over… not because they aren’t smart, but because nobody ever explained it the right way. That’s kind of the whole reason this Field Guide exists, and it’s definitely the reason this book exists.
If you grab a copy, let me know what you think. And if it helps (even a little) leave a review. It could help someone else find it useful, too.
