Good day.  
I am trying to obtain the “solids of the structural elements-columns” geometries, I have tried code that has been published in the forum but it does not help me… I leave my code and I appreciate your help.

… in the second image I manage to obtain the geometry of some elements but when I have 15 thousand elements the code does not return all the geometries… why =??? What am I doing wrong or what is missing?

Hi,

you must include in your code the case where the `GeometryObject` is of type `GeometryInstance` (in addition to the `Solid` type).

Example here

> [@Geometry of elements in python script](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/geometry-of-elements-in-python-script/82119/2):

> Hi, here an example import clr import sys import System clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry') from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import \* import Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry as DS #import Revit API clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import \* import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB clr.AddReference('RevitNodes') import Revit clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion) #import transactionManager and DocumentManager (RevitServices is specific to Dynamo) clr.…
