[1005] Convert a Shapely polygon to an Esri polygon using ArcPy

To convert a Shapely polygon to an Esri polygon using ArcPy, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a Shapely Polygon:

   • First, create your desired Shapely polygon using the Shapely library in Python.

2. Convert to Esri Polygon:

   • Use the arcpy.FromWKB() function to convert the Shapely polygon’s WKB (Well-Known Binary) representation to an Esri polygon.
   • Example:

     from shapely.geometry import Polygon
     import arcpy
      
     # Create a Shapely polygon
     shapely_polygon = Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)])
      
     # Convert to Esri polygon
     esri_polygon = arcpy.FromWKB(shapely_polygon.wkb)
     # Now you can use 'esri_polygon' in your ArcPy workflows

3. Write to a Feature Class:

   • You can write the Esri polygon to a new feature class using an insert cursor.
   • Example:

     new_fc = r"C:\path\to\your\geodatabase.gdb\NewFeatureClass"
     with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(new_fc, ["SHAPE@"]) as cursor:
         cursor.insertRow([esri_polygon])

Remember to adjust the code according to your specific Shapely polygon and desired feature class. Let me know if you need further assistance! 😊 1
