When you realize that, the rest is a three step process:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>1. Create buffer on one side</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. Create buffer on the other side</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3. Combine the two</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Check out the code.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:28:55 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/creating-a-polygon-along-route-with-various-widths/m-p/557761#M1852 MatejTacer 2010-09-23T13:28:55Z
