I have several (sometimes, not always overlapping) Polygon Feature Classes which are all weighted/ranked through a field from 1 to 10 (10 is best). I would like to combine/overlay these layers them, but also use their rank information. Therefore not only the overlapping/intersected features should be shown in the result. A classification of the "best" places with the highest combined ranking should be shown in the result.
Is there a way to do that using vector tools?
To do this I would use the Union tool to calculate the overlap relationships between polygons.
I would then use arcpy.da.UpdateCursor to iterate through each polygon and add up the ranks/weights of any polygons that overlap in that area.
