Fire Escape Plan engine in Kaleidoscope Plan

What it does

Lay a complete evacuation plan over your drawing. Place ready-made safety symbols, draw wall-snapped escape routes, add directional arrows, and colour everything to your regional standard, without touching the underlying floor plan.

Step-by-step guide

Capabilities

What you get

An ISO 23601 sign catalogue

67 ready-made symbols for escape and evacuation plans, including exits, routes, assembly points, first aid, AEDs, emergency phones and firefighting equipment. Everything is grouped in plain-language categories and searchable by name or ISO code.

Wall-snapped escape routes

Draw multi-point routes that snap to walls, colour-coded so primary and secondary paths read at a glance.

Directional arrows

Drop rotatable arrows in 45° steps to guide people toward the nearest exit.

Regional standards

US, UK, EU and AU signage standards with matching safety palettes, safety green, emergency red, caution amber, mandatory blue.

Full control over every symbol

Swap the exact icon within a category from the Type carousel, rotate, scale 0.3–5× (or tap [ and ] with a keyboard), duplicate or delete from the floating action bubble, and recolour from a fixed standard safety palette (no off-standard colours).

Advisory compliance check

An advisory checklist flags the obvious life-safety elements, a 'You Are Here' marker, an exit, a route that reaches it, an assembly point and an extinguisher, before you print an official-looking sheet.

Standards-aligned PDF export

Export a vector PDF, one A4-landscape page per floor, with an auto legend, a scale bar, a north point and an advisory compliance statement, ready to print, frame or share with your fire officer. A free watermarked sample is always available; a clean export uses one export credit.
