Is there a way to divide polygons into UNEQUAL parts? I have a feature class with multiple rectangles that are all the same size that all need to be divided the same way: three vertical strips, with the center strip being several meters skinnier than the outer two. I have only found tools that could divide into equal areas. The other option seems to be painstaking line drawing to use Edit > Split where I would have to know the X,Y coordinates of each line vertex instead of inputting "86 m in from the east and west edges" into a distance box or something. If Python/ArcPy is my only option, that's fine but I'm not very familiar with them yet.

A simple way to calculate the width and length of the rectangles to add to my attribute table would also be helpful. I feel like there used to be a way to do that with "Calculate Geometry" but I'm not seeing it anymore.
