How to show ADA clearance in bathrooms?

What is a good way to show an ADA clearance?  I often see the below circle and wheelchair symbol on plans and like to create something similar. 

 

One initial idea is to create a family or sub-category that only shows in certain view types. I assume I want to show it on some architectural views, but not MEP etc. 

Maybe an annotation type of family? i may want to show it in more than just one type of view. 

 

I found a way to add ADA clearance to doors, which doesn't help me here. 

There is an oob specialty equipment family called ADA clearance, but it doesn't actually seem to have anything in it. 

 

Any pointers or ideas I should try first?

There is a Wheel Chair Circle family in the Specialty Equipment folder under Toilet Room Specialties folder in the stock content from Revit/Autodesk.

Thanks, that works. I created a sub-category for ADA to control visibility in different view types (family attached).

 

(I should have searched for more than just "ADA"  🙂
