How to Size Emergency Signage in Revit — IT-15 PPCI
How to insert, size, and quantify emergency signage in Revit using the PSCIP template families — with automatic sizing based on visibility distance, according to Technical Instruction 15 of the Minas Gerais Fire Department.
✅ How IT-15 defines the size of the signs based on visibility distance
✅ How to insert signage in Revit with automatic orientation and rotation
✅ How the visibility distance parameter automatically adjusts the sign size
✅ How to identify signs with tags (TG) showing type and dimensions
✅ How to automatically quantify all signage in the drawing schedule

0:05 — Normative reference: IT-15 — Emergency Signage (CBMMG)
0:57 — Sizing table: sign size x visibility distance x type
2:08 — Sizing formula for non-tabulated distances: A greater than or equal to L² / 2000
3:14 — Colors, letter heights and graphic requirements of signs according to IT-15
3:32 — Adding fire-resistant floor and wall in Revit for the demonstration environment
4:39 — Inserting S1 sign via CM — rotation with spacebar and positioning on the wall
5:55 — Changing the sign type in the property (S1 to S2) without Reinsert family
6:21 — Adding identification tag (TG) showing the plate code
6:57 — Visibility distance parameter: how to change and see the size change automatically
7:30 — Example: 6 meters distance results in a 95 mm plate (according to IT-15)
8:08 — Inserting E5 plate and applying tag — same process for all families
9:04 — Emergency signage symbology table on the drawing — automatic quantification
9:39 — Side-by-side windows (WT): floor plan and table updating in real time
10:14 — Increasing visibility distance and verifying automatic update in the table
