You could create 2 new fields: One to store the area of the new split building section and another to divided it by the sum for that building. </P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 01 Aug 2019 20:34:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/aec-architecture-engineering-and-construction/how-to-cut-up-polygons-with-a-grid-in-arcmap/m-p/326378#M188 David 2019-08-01T20:34:45Z
