I want the rings to be from 0 - 2km, 2km - 5km, 5km - 10km. I'm using the multi-ring buffer in QGIS and it doesn't have the option to specify the radius of each circle separately so I can make them each have a difference of 5 or 2 but its has to be the same across. Is there a way to make the radius of each circle different in QGIS.</p> <p>I tried using difference by making a 0-2km buffer and then a 0-5km buffer but I have over 1000 points which are close together and so the buffer for each unique point overlaps. This means that difference removes regions for all overlapping buffers for other points (which I dont want). The picture shows you what I'm working with where the brown dots are my unique points and the pink buffers are the 2km buffers while the orange ones are the 5km buffers.</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/VCT5Wuqt.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/VCT5Wuqt.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p> </div> </div> <h2 class="mt16">Answer<abbr class="s-required-symbol" title="required">*</abbr></h2> <div class="ps-relative"> <div class="wmd-container mb8"> <div id="wmd-button-bar-488852" class="wmd-button-bar btr-sm"></div> <div class="js-stacks-validation"> <div class="ps-relative"> <textarea id="wmd-input-488852" name="post-text" class="wmd-input s-input bar0 js-post-body-field" data-editor-type="wmd" data-post-type-id="2" cols="92" rows="15" tabindex="101" data-min-length="">So, if I understood your question correctly for general understanding one more way to solve the question using SQL code in the form of CTE.

Input geodata: table with structure id, geometry with name points in meter plane-rectangular coordinate system.

Create on the QGIS toolbar - Layer>Create Layer>Create Virtual Layer...and add your table, using the <Import> button.

In the <Query> field, copy and paste the SQL query, replacing the name of your table (layer) and run the query for execution, using the <Add> button.

[![][1]][1]

```
WITH 
buf_2km AS (select id, 0 in_dist, 2000 out_dist, st_buffer(geometry, 2000) geometry from points),
buf_5km AS (select id, 2000 in_dist, 5000 out_dist, st_buffer(geometry, 5000) geometry from points),
buf_10km AS (select id, 5000 in_dist, 10000 out_dist, st_buffer(geometry, 10000) geometry from points),
dif_5_2km AS (select a.id, a.in_dist-b.in_dist in_dist, 5000 out_dist, st_difference(a.geometry,b.geometry) geometry from buf_5km a JOIN 
buf_2km b on st_intersects(a.geometry,b.geometry) and a.id=b.id),
dif_10_5km AS (select a.id, a.out_dist-b.out_dist in_dist, 10000 out_dist, st_difference(a.geometry,b.geometry) geometry from buf_10km a JOIN 
buf_5km b on st_intersects(a.geometry,b.geometry) and a.id=b.id)
select id, in_dist, out_dist, geometry from buf_2km union select id, in_dist, out_dist, geometry from dif_5_2km union select id, in_dist, out_dist, geometry from dif_10_5km 

```

Save the result to a file or DBMS table, and then apply the styling as you need, for example as in the figure below.
