Indoor Maps - Egress Check, Evacuation Plans, Areas and Camera Coverage

The Analyze tab of the Indoor Maps kit answers questions about the building itself, using the rooms, doors and walls of your venue.

These checks are estimates for planning from the drawn floor plan. They are not a code review or a certified measurement. Confirm them with your fire marshal, architect or measurement professional.

Раздӕр

On the Shapes tab, Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Choose Shape, pick a shape and fill in Walls, Doors and Rooms:

• Rooms: what the room is used for (for example Офистӕ or Assembly), and a fixed number of people if it has fixed seats.
• Doors: the clear width and whether it is an exit. Doors in outside walls count as exits unless Ды say otherwise.
• Walls: the material.
• Safety equipment: choose a Нысан and set it as a Fire extinguisher, Fire alarm, AED, Фыццаг ӕххуыс or Assembly point.

On the Analyze tab, set the Бӕстыхъӕд: sprinklered or not, whether it has an emergency voice/alarm system, the main occupancy group, the default wall and floor materials, and the units. Automatic units Равдисын feet for buildings in the Иугонд Штаттӕ and metres everywhere else.

Egress check

Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Check Egress. The kit walks from every spot in every room to the exits, around walls and through doors. On upper floors the stairs are the exits. It checks these sections of the 2021 International Building Code, the building code used in the Иугонд Штаттӕ. Codes from other countries are not checked yet.

1. Travel distance to an exit (1017.2)
2. Common path of travel (1006.2.1)
3. Dead-end corridors (1020.5)
4. Exits far enough apart (1007.1.1)
5. Enough exits for the number of people on the floor (1006.3.3)
6. Rooms with too many people for one door (Table 1006.2.1)
7. Exit width for the number of people, and what is left if one exit is blocked (1005.3, 1005.5)
8. Exit door clear width (1010.1.1)

Ныкъхъырцы кӕн a finding to Равдисын it on the map. Under Show on the map, pick Travel distance to an exit or Common path of travel to colour every spot by how close it is to the limit.

Evacuation plans

Pick a room and Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Рагом кӕнын Plan, or Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Plan For A Shape to start from a door or a Нысан. Ды get a printable page with "Ды are here" at the room's door, the route to the nearest exit and a second route to a different exit, the Арт equipment on the floor, a legend and short instructions. Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Ӕрбавгӕнын SVG to save it.

Фӕзуӕттӕ and occupancy

Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Барӕн Фӕзуӕттӕ. For every room Ды get its net area, its class (tenant, floor common, building common, vertical penetration or excluded) and its design occupant load from IBC Table 1004.5. For each floor and the whole building Ды get the gross area, rentable area and load factor by the BOMA load-factor method. Ныкъхъырцы кӕн CSV ӕрбавгӕнын for a spreadsheet.

Cameras and line of sight

Put a Нысан where the camera is, give it a facing (0 is north), a field of view and a range, then Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Choose Camera Нысан and pick the Нысан. Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Check Ӕмбӕрзт to see what your cameras see and where the blind spots are. Walls and closed doors block the view; glass does not.

Ныкъхъырцы кӕн Check Sight From A Стъӕлф, then Ныкъхъырцы кӕн the map, to see everything visible from that spot.

Cameras are shown only to people who can edit the map. Visitors to a shared or embedded map do not see them.

The heatmap goes away when Ды leave the Analyze tab. Your check results stay: come back and pick a layer under Show on the map to see it again.
