<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I've got a layer of UK postcodes and a layer of UK buildings; when I run postcode_lyr.Intersection(building_lyr, out_lyr), I get RuntimeError: Attempt to write non-polygon (POINT)
geometry to POLYGON type shapefile. With the option </span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">SKIP_FAILURES=YES, the intersection completes, but one postcode is left out. I get the same result when running

in the result layer for that particular postcode. Or is there a way to find out which features have been skipped so I can go back and try and perform the intersection manually for just those features?
