symmetricalDifference

Calculates the geometric intersection of the input polygon feature classes. Creates a polygon feature class that contains the areas of both input datasets that do not overlap.

Inputs:

Two polygon feature classes
Fuzzy tolerance. Keep the fuzzy tolerance as small as possible to avoid unwanted approximation of the shapes.

Outputs:

New polygon feature class

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<first_dataset>	A Polygon feature class or feature layer
<second_dataset>	A Polygon feature class or feature class. NOTE: The spatial references of <first_dataset> and the <second_dataset> must have the same Geographic Coordinate System
<out_feature_class>	A String - the full name of the output feature class (A feature class with the same full name should not exist)
<fuzzy_tolerance>	A Double representing the Fuzzy tolerance (in the units of the input dataset) to be used
