Elevator Symbol Annotation

This Revit family provides a standard elevator plan symbol for floor plan documentation, featuring clear directional indicators. The symbol consists of a square frame enclosing three vertical bars topped with circles, representing the elevator car, positioned beneath two triangular arrows pointing up and down. It is designed for high-contrast visibility in technical drawings, using a simple geometric composition to denote lift locations. The lines and shapes are scaled for standard architectural plan scales, ensuring legibility when printed on A1 or A3 sheets. This annotation is a static 2D representation, providing a clean, professional look that adheres to common drafting standards for vertical circulation in building floor plans.

The download is a 164 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 file into your project as a generic annotation family or detail component. Place it on your floor plan views to identify elevator shafts or lift lobbies. Because it is a vector-based family, the symbol remains crisp at any view scale. You can control its visibility through the object styles or by assigning it to a specific annotation category within your project template to ensure it appears consistently across all levels.

Essential for documentation in multi-storey residential, office, and hospitality projects, this symbol is placed on floor plans to clearly communicate vertical circulation routes. It is suitable for use in early design stages, permit sets, and construction documentation where clear building navigation is required. Architects and interior designers use this to mark elevator cores, lift shafts, and lobby areas, ensuring that contractors and consultants can easily identify lift locations across complex floor layouts and large-scale building designs.
