The classic plan excerpt: set the scale against a known distance, walls and rooms are read automatically.
CAD drawing
AutoCAD® plans come in true to scale – and go back congruently: devices as blocks with attributes, rooms as polylines, and changes made in CAD are reconciled.
BIM model
The model brings floors, rooms and heights along — no calibration needed. Detectors go back into coordination as BCF.
Back to AutoCAD® – congruent, as blocks, with a way back
Your design lands in the coordinate system of the original DWG. Every device is a block with attributes, every room a polyline – and whatever you move in CAD comes back.
1:1 in the original coordinates
INSERT at 0,0 with scale 1 – no scaling, no moving, no unit conversion.
Blocks with attributes
One block per VdS 2135 symbol with designation, group, type, room, storey and status – ready for DATAEXTRACTION.
Changes come back
Load the edited DXF/DWG again: moved, deleted and new devices are reconciled before anything is saved.
Drawing symbols after VdS 2135, created by PlanWerke – not an official VdS document. The DXF file (AC1021) opens in AutoCAD® 2007 and later, BricsCAD and other DWG-compatible CAD applications.
Three steps, three minutes
Plan in
Upload the PDF, calibrate the scale against a known distance.
Rooms detected
Walls, rooms and areas are read automatically — correct them by drawing and dragging.
Detectors placed
Placed to the requirements of the standards, recalculated, ready to export.
Minutes instead of days
Four modules, one plan
Calculate first, then plan.
One room, one question, one answer — computed to the standards' parameters, with the full working shown. The calculators run entirely in your browser: your dimensions never leave it.

Der Planungsumfang der BMA hat einen neuen Abschnitt „Einrichtungen für die Feuerwehr und Laufkarten“ – im Workflow der Projektansicht und im Planungsumfang-Dialog des Viewers: Farbe der Blitzleuchte (Rot, Gelb, Orange, Grün, Bernstein, Blau, Klar/Weiß), Typ des Feuerwehr-Schlüsseldepots (FSD 1–3), Format der Feuerwehr-Laufkarten (DIN A3/A4) und die Zahl der Ausfertigungen je Satz.
Der grüne Einsatzweg der Feuerwehr-Laufkarten wird jetzt echt trassiert: In Fluren folgt er der Flurmitte (dem Flur-Skelett, das auch die Melder-Abstandsregel nutzt), in Räumen dem begehbaren Weg um Ecken, und Verkehrswege werden bevorzugt – der Weg durch zwei Büros ist nicht mehr der Einsatzweg, wenn der Flur daneben liegt.
Der KI-Workflow-Copilot (KI-Copilot-Tarif) ist jetzt auch direkt im Viewer erreichbar – über den Knopf „Copilot“ in der Werkzeugleiste oder die Befehlspalette (⌘K → „KI-Copilot öffnen“).
Briefly asked
Yes. Upload the plan, calibrate the scale against a known distance — walls and rooms are detected automatically, even on scans without vector geometry. An IFC model is optional.
