Fire Evacuation Plan in DWG – How to Design It with ArCADia Escape Routes

Every public building, office, school, hospital or shopping centre is legally required to have a fire evacuation plan. Creating these plans manually is time-consuming and error-prone. There is a better way.

ArCADia-Escape Routes is a dedicated BIM module that automates the entire process of designing and documenting fire evacuation plans, directly within your existing CAD or BIM workflow.

What Is ArCADia-Escape Routes?

ArCADia-Escape Routes is a professional add-on module for the ArCADia BIM platform. It works with existing building plans in DWG, IFC or DXF format — so you do not need to redraw anything from scratch.

 

How to Create a Fire Evacuation Plan in DWG

Step 1: Import Your Existing Floor Plan

Load existing DWG, DXF or IFC files from ArchiCAD, Revit or Allplan, or drawings created directly in ArCADia BIM.

Step 2: Define Evacuation Routes Automatically

Simply indicate two points — a room and an exit — and the software calculates and displays the optimal route automatically. No manual drawing required.

Step 3: Add Symbols and Signage

Insert ISO 23601 and PN EN ISO 7010:2012 compliant symbols from the built-in library. All symbols are pre-made and correctly sized.

Step 4: Generate Plan and Legend

The module automatically creates the evacuation map, legend with all symbols, and ready-made fire procedure boards — at any print size from A4 to A0.
