# 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.

## 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which SkyeBrowse plans include the pre-plan tools?

AI Floor Plans, Sun & Shadow, and the Topographic Map are included with Pro models and Public Safety & Enterprise. AI Site Plan (CAD) is a Premium tool.
