   ByVal esriShapeBuffer() As Byte, _
   Optional ByVal spatialReference As SpatialReference _
) As Multipatch

Multipatch xmlMultipatch = MultipatchBuilderEx.FromXml(xml);

// esriShape export/import
byte[] buffer = multiPatch.ToEsriShape();
Multipatch esriPatch = MultipatchBuilderEx.FromEsriShape(buffer);

// or use GeometryEngine
Multipatch patchImport = GeometryEngine.Instance.ImportFromEsriShape(EsriShapeImportFlags.EsriShapeImportDefaults, buffer, multiPatch.SpatialReference) as Multipatch;
