topic Buffer tool with geodesic option but trace offset planar only? in Petroleum Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/petroleum-questions/buffer-tool-with-geodesic-option-but-trace-offset/m-p/305581#M80 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This is quite frustrating. Trying to make workspace polygons around an oil pipeline, one of which has a varying offset, so it helps to have the option to change on the fly with the trace offset feature. This only works with planar distances.</P><P></P><P>I've played around in the environments, but neither the current map nor layer projection changes the distance to geodesic. The only way I've been able to draw this polygon with a geodesic measured buffer is to use the buffer tool to make both geodesic offsets, and then splitting away the parts I don't need.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 10 Dec 2019 17:01:10 GMT DanielSorrenson 2019-12-10T17:01:10Z Buffer tool with geodesic option but trace offset planar only? https://community.esri.com/t5/petroleum-questions/buffer-tool-with-geodesic-option-but-trace-offset/m-p/305581#M80 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>This is quite frustrating.
