ConstructOffset in Python with ArcObjects

Wimde_Valk — Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:54:05 GMT

I'm scripting with Python and ArcPy in ArcGIS 10.2. I want to create a offsetline from a polylineZ. ArcPy doesn't have such a function so far I know. Therefore I'm trying to use ArcObjects within my Pythonscript. My scripting is based on following VB.Net code:

pConstructCurve = New Polyline
         pConstructCurve.ConstructOffset(pInPolyline, dOffset, esriConstructOffsetEnum.esriConstructOffsetRounded +
                 esriConstructOffsetEnum.esriConstructOffsetSimple)
         ConstructOffset = pConstructCurve

I use snippets.py from Mark Cederholm for creating and using ArcObjects. That's going very well with exception of the statement pConstructCurve.ConstructOffset. A part of my code is:

pFeatureSelection = Snippits.CType(pFeatureLayer, esriCarto.IFeatureSelection)
pSelectionSet = pFeatureSelection.SelectionSet
pCursor = pSelectionSet.Search (None, False)
pFeatureCursor = Snippits.CType(pCursor, esriGeoDatabase.IFeatureCursor)
pFeat = pFeatureCursor.NextFeature()

while pFeat:

    # Maak offsetlijnen:
    dOffset = 2.00

    # Maak offsetlijn aan de rechterkant
    pPolyline = Snippits.NewObj(esriGeometry.Polyline, esriGeometry.IPolyline)
    pConstructCurve = Snippits.CType(pPolyline, esriGeometry.IConstructCurve)

    pInPolyline = Snippits.CType(pFeat.Shape, esriGeometry.IPolyline)

    iOffsetHow = esriGeometry.esriConstructOffsetMitered + esriGeometry.esriConstructOffsetSimple

    pConstructCurve.ConstructOffset(pInPolyline, dOffset, iOffsetHow)

    pNewPolyline = Snippits.CType(pConstructCurve, esriGeometry.IPolyline)

    pNewFeature = pFCOffsetLine.CreateFeature()
    iLijnsoortField = pNewFeature.Fields.FindField(sLijnsoortFieldName)
    pNewFeature.Value[iLijnsoortField] = "rechts"
    pNewFeature.Store

The statement pConstructCurve.ConstructOffset doesn't return anything of a couple of points (most two) with faulty X and Y values. Sometimes an error message appears: "The Geometry has no Z values"

Questions:

- Is it right that AcPy doesn't have such a function?

- What is wrong in my scripting?

Best regards,

Wim
