Like I answered Dan, I have polygons (feature class) which I want to split into new polygons if my line feature (another feature class) crosses the respective polygon. In my example (biotopes and road, see my answer to Dan) a biotope is actually two biotopes if there is a road going through. I already found this solution <A href="https://community.esri.com/thread/181151">https://community.esri.com/thread/181151</A>&nbsp; but I wondered, if there was a simpler way to accomplish this with an easy arcpy function.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 21 Apr 2018 15:33:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-split-polygons-by-overlapping-feature-in/m-p/615378#M48030 Simeon_FranzWetzel 2018-04-21T15:33:57Z Re: How to split polygons by overlapping feature in arcpy? https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-split-polygons-by-overlapping-feature-in/m-p/615379#M48031 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>No, the options have been listed in the threads above and on the linked post.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 28 Apr 2018 19:21:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-split-polygons-by-overlapping-feature-in/m-p/615379#M48031 DanPatterson_Retired 2018-04-28T19:21:22Z
