M: Tool Box__Vector__Analysis__Proximity tools__Buffer

Summarize:

Creates buffer polygons around features of the input layer to a specified distance.

Usage:

•  The input layer can be point, line, or polygon layer.

•  The names of all input layers and update layers must be unique.

•  The buffer distance must be more than 0.

•  If a field from the Input layer is used to obtain buffer distances, the field's values must be a number.

•  Dissolve — Specifies the dissolve to be performed to remove buffer overlap.

        None — An individual buffer for each feature is maintained, regardless of overlap.

        All     — All buffers are dissolved together into a single feature, removing any overlap.

        Field — The buffers of same field value are dissolved together, removing any overlap.
