Evacuation Route

2 min. readlast update: 11.19.2024

In Naviate Bimfire Template v. 1.2.0 the family Fire_EvacuationRoute was changed from using a line-based Fire Alarm Device to a Structrual Framing family. To be able to have a miter-join on the family and even add a height/width parameter to control the geometry.

 

  1. Go to the tab Structure and create a beam.
  2. Select which draw tool, and make sure the chain feature is selected. Most important is that z-justification is set to Bottom, otherwise it will not be visible because it will be in the middle of the slab.
    Change NVHeight and NVWidth parameters after the requirements to change the 3D geometry.
  3. In default Structural Framing a line will represent the evacuation route, to adjust the joins, go to Modify tab.
  4. Each join has two arrows to control the joins, flip them until the joins are as expected.

  5. Check the family in 3D and change view detail to Medium, either via entire view or recommended, via VV/VG -> Structural Framing.
  6. It's possible to run BIM Coordination against the evacuation route to check that there is no clashes.
