About this asset

This Revit annotation symbol is a dedicated egress door tag designed to display clear clearance dimensions on floor plan drawings. The egress door tag consists of a clean, geometric arrow-shaped line work frame designed to point in the direction of the exit path. Centred within the arrow head is a clear, readable text parameter for displaying door width dimensions, such as 36 inches. The linework is standard vector-based graphic, ensuring it maintains clarity and legibility at various scales when placed on architectural floor plan sheets. It is built as a generic annotation family, allowing for consistent graphic representation across different project files and ensuring that life safety egress requirements are clearly communicated to contractors.

The download is a 133 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this family into your project and apply it to door components in your floor plan views. As an annotation family, it remains fixed in paper space relative to the view scale. Users can adjust the label parameter to reflect the specific egress width of the door being tagged. Ensure that the tag is loaded into your drawing template to maintain consistency in your documentation sets, particularly when preparing life safety or building code compliance plans.

Essential for architects and fire safety engineers, this tag is used during the design development and construction documentation phases of residential, commercial, and healthcare projects. It is specifically intended for life safety plans where clear egress paths and door clearance widths must be explicitly labelled for building department review. Professional designers use this to highlight accessible routes and exit doors, ensuring that all egress points meet local building code standards while maintaining a clean, professional look on final construction drawing sets.
