5FT-20Designs Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Until recently, adding a note with the maximum travel distance was all that was required. from the local planning department. When i talked with one of the plan reviewers, i was told now, a Life Safety Plan is required for all commercial projects. I've attached a plan w/polyline and schedule that determines the distance and egress time required. Still looking for a way to automatically add the room name based on the endpoint of the polyline. Let me know any improvements you may make. Life Safety Egress Time.plan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundra_dweller Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Nice work, thanks! This isn't required in my area but it's a good tool to have in the box for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work! Here's one idea for the room name that wouldn't require much of a redesign... Place %room.name% into your Supplier field Drag out an extra line segment from the Tail of each Polyline so that it extends far enough that the Move handle (center) of your Polyline object is in the correct room and immediately click the Hide Selected Edge tool. This second step won't even be necessary for many rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you disconnect the segment & block both it works with one little issue. It doesn't follow the formatting based on the schedule number formatting. Have to format in the custom field itself. Believe manually inputting the room is easier. Thanks again for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you click Hide Selected Edge, the length should go right back to what it was. You're inadvertently using a name:value pair that was made for almost exactly this scenario in that it only reports the visible length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5FT-20Designs Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Thanks Michael, I wasn't hiding the segments. Guess I need to pay attention to what I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
