1. Simple Buffer
Create a buffer around features.
Create a [distance] meter buffer around all features in [layer_name]. Generate the buffers as a new polygon layer.
2. Variable Distance Buffer
Buffer based on attribute values.
Create buffers around [layer_name] where the buffer distance is taken from the [distance_field] column. Each feature gets its own buffer size.
3. Multi-Ring Buffer
Create concentric buffer rings.
Create multiple buffer rings around [layer_name] at distances of [distance_1], [distance_2], and [distance_3] meters. Show each ring as a separate zone.
4. Dissolved Buffer
Merge overlapping buffers.
Create [distance] meter buffers around [layer_name] and dissolve all overlapping buffers into single polygons. Remove internal boundaries.
5. One-Sided Buffer
Buffer lines on one side only.
Create a [distance] meter buffer on the [left/right] side of the lines in [line_layer]. Do not buffer the other side.
6. Buffer with Exclusion
Create donut-shaped buffers.
Create a buffer zone between [inner_distance] and [outer_distance] meters from [layer_name]. Exclude the area within the inner distance.
7. Service Area Buffer
Calculate travel-time buffers.
Create a [time] minute travel-time buffer around [point_layer] using [driving/walking/cycling] mode. Show the reachable area within that time.
8. Count Features in Buffer
Count features within buffer zones.
Count how many [target_layer] features fall within [distance] meters of each feature in [source_layer]. Add the count as a new attribute.
9. Buffer Analysis Statistics
Calculate statistics for buffered areas.
Create [distance] meter buffers around [layer_name] and calculate the total [sum/area/count] of [analysis_layer] features within each buffer.
10. Setback Analysis
Identify areas meeting setback requirements.
Identify all areas that are at least [distance] meters away from [constraint_layer]. Highlight areas that meet the setback requirement.
