Directional Line Buffer
Plugin ID: 6877
Draw a line on the map and get a left, right or both-side buffer polygon in meters, with live preview.
Directional Line Buffer creates one-sided or two-sided buffer polygons from a line you digitise on the map canvas. Choose Left, Right or Both, type a distance in meters and watch the polygon update as you move the mouse.
Finish the line and the polygon is saved into your own polygon layer or into a temporary layer, with the distance and side stored as attributes.
Typical uses: road setbacks, riparian strips, pipeline corridors and one-sided rights-of-way.
Requires a projected CRS in meters. Distances are planar.
