Agree 100%. Shafts do have a "Solid" geometry available in the API, it just happens to never be visible. I'd like to see shafts have a "Solid Geometry" sub-category that could be toggled on and re-colored for coordination purposes. Imagine how much easier shaft coordination would be if you could make all the arch shafts solid yellow and semi-transparent and make all the structural shafts red and semi-transparent in 3D.
With Dynamo it is possible to capture the Solid geometry, then send that solid geometry back to Revit via DirectShape, but that is only a snapshot and not an always coordinated element. Great request - hope it can get some more support.

if you create a 3d view which only shows shaft openings, then do a drag box select, you can see all the shaft openings shaded, its far from ideal but a quick work arround
