Additional Information
The content from the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawing is read as written. There are rules in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) about what it means to be a closed multipatch. In CAD, it is easy to create a solid that GIS considers unclosed. This is not a bug. This is not invalid. It is simply a difference in the geometry of CAD and GIS. Using the Geoprocessing (GP) tool to enclose the "unclosed" multipatch alters the geometry of the object and may result in a different shape or volume. There is no intention to always create closed multipatches from CAD. This is a known limitation based on the underlying differences in geometry.Steps to Reproduce
