Si puede trabajar arcpy
un 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:

index += 1

lines_created = []
# Select current feature
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(objects, "NEW_SELECTION", sql)
vertexes = "in_memory" + "\\" + "vertexes"
# 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"))

# 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.
