hi @ilia.s, below is a sample usage of get_Geometry method. It is collecting Solid geometry and extracting Faces data from Room elements.

# dynamo version - 1.3.4

import clr
clr.AddReference("RevitAPI");
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")

import Autodesk, Revit;
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements);
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion);
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

rooms = UnwrapElement(IN[0]);
result =[];


for room in rooms:
	# geo of room
	geo = room.get_Geometry(Options())
	# get enum
	enum = geo.GetEnumerator()
	# skip one
	next = enum.MoveNext()
	# current geo
	solid = enum.Current
	# get faces
	faces = solid.Faces
	count = 0;
	sub = []
	# each face
	for face in faces:
		count +=1;
		# omit first two (top,btn)
		if count>2:
			# face to dyn obj
			sub.append(face.ToProtoType()[0])
			# curves
			#sub.append(face.GetEdgesAsCurveLoops()[0])
	result.append(sub)
OUT = result
