Egress Door Tag

This Revit annotation family provides a standardized egress door tag for documenting critical life safety data on floor plans. This Revit family functions as a specialized annotation tag designed to extract and display specific egress parameters for door objects. It features a multi-cell layout that organizes door identification numbers alongside critical clearance or width dimensions. The graphics are clean and strictly linework-based, ensuring clarity when printed at various scales. It is intended to be hosted by door families within a project, automatically pulling data from the shared parameters assigned to door elements to maintain consistency across construction documentation sets and life safety plans.

The download is a 143 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.

To implement this tag, load the family into your Revit project and assign it to the door category via the tag settings. The tag is configured to read standard instance parameters, allowing for immediate population of door data once placed in a plan view. Users can adjust the leader line and text position to avoid interference with other building elements, ensuring that egress paths and door functionality remain clearly legible throughout the documentation process.

This tag is essential for architects and MEP engineers working on life safety, egress, or fire code compliance drawings. It is primarily used during the design development and construction documentation stages to verify that door widths and egress capacities meet local building codes. By standardizing the display of door data, it facilitates clear communication between the design team and building officials, making it a reliable tool for professional documentation workflows in large-scale residential, commercial, and institutional building projects.
