Exit Sign Annotation Symbol, Plan View Symbol

This Exit Sign Annotation Symbol is a native Revit family designed for clear egress mapping on floor plan documentation. The symbol consists of a bold, solid black circle centred on intersecting dashed reference lines, which act as alignment guides within the Revit environment. Surrounding the central element are four directional arrows pointing outward, indicating primary egress paths. This graphic is strictly two-dimensional, intended for use in floor plan views to denote the location of emergency exits or fire safety equipment. The geometry is clean, high-contrast, and adheres to standard architectural notation practices, ensuring it remains legible at various scales when plotted on construction documentation sets.

The download is a 205 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 symbol, load the family into your project and place it directly onto your floor plan views using the Annotation tab. Because it is a view-specific family, it will automatically scale with your view settings, maintaining consistent line weights and sizes regardless of the sheet scale. It is best practice to place these on a dedicated annotation sub-category or layer to allow for easy visibility control across different plan types.

This annotation is essential for life safety plans, fire strategy drawings, and general egress documentation in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. It provides a clear, standardised visual cue for building occupants and fire marshals during the design development and construction documentation phases. Professionals often combine this with exit signage schedules or fire-rated door tags to ensure code compliance. It is frequently searched for as a fire safety symbol, egress marker, or emergency exit indicator within Revit project templates.
