Hi!!!  
I need GetSpatialElementBoundaryLocation by Element… But Python gives an error message.  
what am I doing wrong?

You could get the Room Boundaries by using “Room.FinishBoundary” OOTB node.

Alright. You should first get the boundary options currently your missing that part in python. Have a look at revit api doc.
