How to 3D map a building for a fire pre-plan with a drone
Build a 3D pre-plan of a target hazard with hydrants, alarm panels, and access points marked before the call comes in. Record one continuous drone video, upload it to SkyeBrowse, and open a 3D pre-plan model with NFPA-170-style symbols and a CAD-ready site plan your crews can open in a browser. Processing runs at about one minute per minute of video. Pick your drone below for the exact capture steps.

Outputs and measurements for fire pre-incident planning
Pre-plan symbols
The Icons tool includes an NFPA-170-style fire pre-plan set covering hydrants, fire alarm control panels, suppression equipment, and facility markers.
AI Site Plan (CAD) and AI Floor Plans
Trace the orthophoto into a CAD-ready site plan and generate interior floor plans in seconds, then export DXF or GeoJSON when available.
Sun & Shadow
Simulate sunlight and shadows on the building at any date and time using weather-aware lighting for the model's location.
Topographic Map
Overlay elevation contour lines to read grade changes around the site.
