¿Crear búfer solo en una dirección específica con ArcGIS for Desktop? [cerrado]

Estoy tratando de crear un búfer para varios polígonos en una orientación suroeste. Hasta donde yo sé, esto no es posible usando la herramienta buffer (uso ArcGIS 10.3). Podría hacerlo manualmente, pero para más de 400 polígonos tomaría demasiado tiempo.

¿Alguien sabe una mejor manera?

Esto es más o menos lo que busco:

Si puede trabajar arcpyun poco en Python, entonces podría usar algún script para generar estas zonas en una dirección específica. Hice algunas similares hace unas semanas, publicaré parte de mi script para ayudarlo.

import arcpy, math, gc
# Workspace, overwrite
arcpy.env.workspace = r"YOUR_WORKSPACE"
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

# INPUTS
objects_input = "objects.shp" # must be polygons
objects = "objects_lyr.shp"
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(objects_input, objects)

# OUTPUTS, most temporal
result = "result.shp"
result_erase = "in_memory" + "\\" + "result_erase"
polygon = "in_memory" + "\\" + "polygon"
polygon_dissolve = "in_memory" + "\\" + "polygon_dissolve"

arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(arcpy.env.workspace, result, "POLYGON")

# Parameters
distance = 300 # distance for move in direction
direction = 90 # direction in degrees (90 is from north to south)
index = 0

# Set UpdateCursor
cur_objects = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(objects, ("FID"))
for row_objects in cur_objects:
    try:
        fid = row_objects[0]
        sql = '"FID" = ' + str(index)
        index += 1

        # Initialize lists
        lines_list = []
        lines_created = []

        # Select current feature
        arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(objects, "NEW_SELECTION", sql)

        # Convert object to vertexes
        arcpy.FeatureVerticesToPoints_management(objects, vertexes, "ALL")
        index_vertex = 0

        # Set SearchCursor for vertexes
        cur_vertexes = arcpy.da.SearchCursor(vertexes, ("SHAPE@XY"))
        for row_vertexes in cur_vertexes:
            vertex_coords_x = row_vertexes[0][0]
            vertex_coords_y = row_vertexes[0][1]

            # Define points coordinates
            point_move_x = vertex_coords_x - (distance) * math.cos(math.radians(direction))
            point_move_y = vertex_coords_y - (distance) * math.cos(math.radians(90 - direction))

            # Make list of points
            new_line = ([[vertex_coords_x, vertex_coords_y], [point_move_x, point_move_y]])
            lines_list.append(new_line)

            # From second cycle
            if index_vertex > 0:
                lines_vertexes = ([[vertex_coords_x, vertex_coords_y], start_line])
                lines_ends = ([[point_move_x, point_move_y], end_line])

            end_line = [point_move_x, point_move_y]
            index_vertex = index_vertex + 1

        # Cycle that makes polylines from points
        for lines_step in lines_list:
            lines_created.append(arcpy.Polyline(arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(*sour) for sour in lines_step])))

        arcpy.FeatureToPolygon_management(lines_created, polygon)
        arcpy.AggregatePolygons_cartography(polygon, polygon_dissolve, 1)

        # Final editing
        arcpy.Erase_analysis(polygon_dissolve, objects, result_erase)
        arcpy.Append_management(result_erase, result, "NO_TEST")
        arcpy.Delete_management("in_memory")
        arcpy.Delete_management(vertexes)
        start_line = []

        # Clear selection, memory and deleting temps
        arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(objects, "CLEAR_SELECTION")
        print "Object number: " + str(index - 1) + " -- done."
        gc.collect()


    # Catch errors
    except Exception as e:
        pass
        print "Error:"
        print e
        print "\n"
        index += 1

Espero que puedan leerlo bien, tuve que traducir comentarios y variables.

Este es el guión que resuelve el problema. Crédito y muchas gracias a david_p que lo escribió. Acabo de agregar algunos paréntesis faltantes.

Opcion A:

1. Crear el búfer con la herramienta de búfer
2. Seleccione todas las características en la clase de entidad Buffer
3. Use la herramienta de deformación y designe algunas esquinas importantes y realice la deformación

Opcion B:

1. Crear el búfer con la herramienta de búfer
2. Habilite la edición y seleccione todas las características en la clase de entidad de búfer
3. Use la herramienta 'Mover', llene los espacios X e Y en la ventana y guarde la salida
