Hi Mike,<br>
Create the rectangle AT the POI.<br>
<br>
You have not said what your environment is (Python or GUI), but you
can try this from the Processing Toolbox:<br>
<blockquote>
<p></p>
<span style=" font-size:x-large; font-weight:600; color:#555555;">Rectangles,
ovals, diamonds</span>
<p
style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span
style=" color:#666666;">Creates rectangle, oval or
diamond-shaped polygons from the input point layer using
specified width, height and (optional) rotation values.
Multipart inputs should be promoted to singleparts first.</span></p>
