Exit Access Travel Distance Annotation Symbol

This Revit annotation family provides a standardized graphical representation for documenting exit access travel distances in floor plans. The component consists of a linear dimension line terminated by arrowheads, specifically designed to denote path-of-travel lengths within building egress studies. It includes a text label field that supports custom length inputs and descriptive notes, such as one-third of exit distance or sprinklered requirements. The geometry is purely 2D, ensuring that it remains clean and legible when placed on plan views regardless of the project scale. Its clean, vector-based line work ensures professional output quality across all construction documentation sets, maintaining consistency in architectural code compliance drawings.

The download is a 399 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 place it as a detail component on your egress plan views. The text and dimension values are editable, allowing users to input specific travel distances and associated code-related annotations directly within the instance properties. Because it is a standard annotation family, it will maintain its relative size on the sheet regardless of the view scale, ensuring clear communication of life-safety requirements without cluttering the underlying floor plan geometry.

Essential for architects and fire safety consultants, this symbol is used during the schematic design and design development phases to verify compliance with local building codes regarding maximum travel distances to exits. It is frequently deployed in life-safety plans for commercial, residential, and institutional projects where clear egress documentation is mandatory for permitting. Pair this with standard wall and door tags to complete your code analysis sheets. Professionals often search for egress path, travel distance, and fire safety symbols.
