Good afternoon everyone, I am working on a project and could use some help. I have a line shapefile that I need to buffer. The trick is that I, ultimately, need the buffer to be exactly the width and length of a roads polygon layer, so that we can tabulate the area of road work that has been completed . Of course, I can buffer the line by a distance, say 10 feet, and the result is a polygon 10' wide and the length of the line feature. I then need to go in and manually edit the vertices, adding new vertices as needed, to snap the buffered polygon to the exact dimensions of the roads polygon layer. *Does anyone know a way to tell the buffer tool to buffer to the dimensions of the road polygon, instead of a set distance?* I know that I can go in and change the buffer distance for each polygon, but with the varying dimensions for the roads poly, there is too much variability. I am really trying to find a quicker way to perform this work, without digitizing each piece of road poly that I need.
