Hi all, Does anyone know how I can buffer a polyline (say 20m) and not get the end points buffered around, ie. straight edges? IS there a program that can detect the end of the line and not buffer around it. The idea is to get a rectangular shape object around a line. I understand that this is not true buffering but it would help immensely.
