Buffer selected polygon

[BenCamp]

There was an app presented by the University of Calgary as part of the CFTA webinar series. The app allowed the user to input a specified distance and select a polygon (building) and the result would show a buffer around the building.

Does anyone have a link to this app or one similar from which I could borrow code?

Thanks!

I just googled it and found this:  CFTA 2015 Webinars

Hmmmm. ... haven't tried it, but if you want to reverse the process, and select the building first, then enter a buffer distance, you could use part of the code sample here Buffer—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop , put the result in_memory with a pre-specified name and create a temporary layer and add it to the dataframe.  It would look like the buffer was automagically created.   I don't think you can create graphic buffers directly anymore
