Element.Geometry not retrieving correct geometry from Element.GetParts #1767

If this issue is not a bug report or improvement request, please check the Dynamo forum, and start a thread there to discuss your issue.

Dynamo version

(Which version of Dynamo are you using? Go to Help > About if you're not sure.)

Revit version

2018 (18.0.0.420)

Operating system

Windows 10

What did you do?

Retrieved parts for a list of walls (Element.GetParts), then retrieved the parts geometry with Element.Geometry

What did you expect to see?

List of solids representing the accurate parts geometry, that is, including wall openings from windows, etc.

What did you see instead?

This method works fine for the list of walls that are unconnected to each other (See image #1), but if there is a chain of walls, Dynamo fails to generate a proper geometry for some of the parts. Some parts ignore the wall openings and are generated as simple boxes (See image #2).

Has this ever been addressed or resolved? I am still having a great deal of issues trying to filter thru the surface selections when the selection results vary with different elements. See my post provided in the related report above by mjkkirschner.
