Tutorials¶

These tutorials walk the main TrafficCAD workflows end to end. Each one is short, builds on the User Guide, and links back to the reference pages for the features it uses.

A finished traffic control plan on aerial imagery

Where the first two tutorials get you: a complete, cited lane closure.

Start here¶

Tutorial	You will learn to
Your First Traffic Plan	Draw a lane closure by hand on a real street: work area, signs, cones, and dimensions.
Generate a TTC Plan	Let the MUTCD engine design the work zone — then tune, check, and own it.
Publish & Share	Compose a sheet set, export the PDF, and put a live link in the field.

Follow the videos¶

Each of these walks a demo recording step by step — watch the embedded video, then follow the same moves with every click captured as a screenshot. (They pair with the demo videos on the website.)

Tutorial	You will learn to
Create a Traffic Plan	Work area, truck, cone and drum tapers, signs, dimensions — reviewed in 3D. (7:04)
Markup on the Map	A full site layout: boundary, crosshatched building, fence and gate, facilities, signage. (7:00)
Visualization Settings	Basemaps, 3D buildings, labels, and satellite imagery tuning. (1:31)
Place & Edit Signs	Sign display modes, true ground size, and a styled parking area with auto stalls. (3:34)
Create Drawings	Viewports, title blocks, 3D views, schedules, MUTCD tables, and editable typicals. (9:51)
Export & Edit in Bluebeam	Every exported markup stays a native, editable Bluebeam annotation. (0:52)

Model the site¶

Tutorial	You will learn to
Vectorize & Re-stripe a Street	Turn any block into editable parametric roads and change its lane configuration.
Model a Corridor Lane by Lane	Edit the cross-section on the pavement: lane kinds, widths, turn bays, and divided roads.

Detail the plan¶

Tutorial	You will learn to
Taper a Work Zone by Hand	Build a channelizer run whose taper length and device spacing come from the manual.
Measure & Document a Site	Print measurements on markups and export the takeoff as a CSV.
Design a Sign	Build a custom panel in the Sign Designer and place it on the plan.

Review and present¶

Tutorial	You will learn to
Review the Plan in 3D & Street View	Check the design from the driver's seat before anyone builds it.

Sites and events¶

Tutorial	You will learn to
Fence a Site	Draw a compliant perimeter with gates — and export the bill of materials.
Sign a Construction Site	Lay out site safety, welfare, and fire evacuation signage.
Plan an Event Site	Zones, routes, parking, and event objects in the metric workspace.
