Project 2: Making an evacuation plan for O&M Building

Problem:

The evacuation map of O&M building is not scientific, even though it is visually clear.

Figure 1: Current evacuation plan for O&M Building

Objective: 

I would like to make an evacuation plan by using Dynamo and Revit, and it will be more scientific and reliable than manually digitized map.

Dynamo Overview:

To make the evacuation plan,
1) Make a seamless surface for the corridor;

2) Create a mesh template for the corridor (it will be used as an route);

3) Initialize an escape route for each room;

4) Calculate the shortest path of evacuation route for each room;

5) Generalize the jaggy route;

6) Visualize the route with eye-catching color and style.

Result:
