Bug

The Multipatch Footprint tool in ArcGIS Pro 3.3.2 creates polygons (extent areas) around certain features, normally thin features when converting 3D multipatch feature to 2D.

Additional Information

Input features have virtually no 2D area, such as a vertical wall modeled using vertical faces, result in 2D extent boxes rather than their true 2D footprint since the footprint more closely resembles a line than a polygon.

Workaround

A workaround is to remove all squares, taking advantage that bounding boxes always have the two first vertices sharing the X coordinate and the second and third sharing the Y coordinate. The 'group by' option cannot be used for this to work.
