Area feature from point feature

Question

Hi all,

Please, can anybody help me. I need to create buildings (area feature) from  point features. I only have 1 point for 1 building. So I need to create some buffer around that point  but with rotations.

Thank you in advance....

There are code bits around, but you would have to piece the process together yourself.  For example

Thank you for a very quick and useful answer. The only thing that is left unsolved is how to add the appropriate rotation to each of these squares. Is that possible? I have a field with rotation values from 0 to 360.

You might want to show what you have since if you buffer a point you will end up with a circle and rotating a circle isn't very useful.

You can look for 'square buffer' samples on geonet if they would be of use

For example
