The intersection of two polygons

XintaoLiu

Now I have two shapes of polygons, how to get the intersection area of them?

I tried: interShp = Shp1.intersection(shp2), but it does not work.

Thanks in advance.

What you are trying to do will work with arcpy 10.0 or 10.1. But you are calling the geometry object method wrong:

 interShp = Shp1.intersect(shp2, 4)

Not "intersection, but "intersect." And you need the 2nd arg, the dimension of the output geometry. You said area, so that would be 4.

good luck

I am not using 10.1 yet but found the method, intersect(other, dimension), documented here:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//018z00000061000000

Thanks Mike, I was unaware of this and although I couldn't find the specific doc for 10.0, I will try this out tomorrow.

Thank you so muck! It works!

By the way, where can I find such specific reference and examples to read? Thank you again.

You can use geometry objects with the Intersect tool, see this:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002z0000001z000000

In your case as you've described it, you would create 2 objects to enter as input, potentially writing a 3rd geom object or write the output to a new shapefile or fc.
