<div dir="ltr">Dear QGIS users and developers-<br><br>I am a new user of QGIS and am very much enjoying the program. Thanks in advance to everyone for a wonderful resource.<br><br>I have a polygon that I would like to replicate and enlarge, such that the replicate polygons are 2mi/3.2km and 10mi/16.1km distance outward from the original polygon but retain the same shape. I've tried using most of the default vector tools, in addition to some plugins but am stuck.<br>
<br>I thought perhaps I could "explode" the polygon into points, generate a 3.2km radius buffer around each point, and then merge the buffers into a single polygon, but have not found a vector tool or plugin to transform lines to points.<br>
<br>Thanks so much for your help!<br clear="all"><div dir="ltr"><br>Matt<br>__________________________________________<br>Matt Giovanni, Ph.D. | Research Biologist<br>Director, <a href="http://kestrel.peregrinefund.org/index.php" target="_blank">American Kestrel Partnership</a><br>
