Does ACAPI_Element_GetQuantities work in sections?

I am trying to extract element's quantities with

ACAPI_Element_GetQuantities() in section views.

When working from floor plans or 3d views everything works fine. Unfortunatelly not in sections. I get APIERR_BADDATABASE error.

"Element" parameter is correct, is visible in debug/trace outputs (and it obiviously works in floorplans). I can see correct element's properties such as "element.slab.thickness"

The element was obtained using

err = ACAPI_Selection_Get(&selectionInfo, &selNeigs, true);
...
...
...loop selNeighs
element.header.guid = neig.guid;
if (ACAPI_Element_Get(&element) == NoError) {
  if (element.header.type.typeID == API_SectElemID) {
    el.guid = element.sectElem.parentGuid;
  } else {
    el.guid = neig.guid;
  }
}

What am I doing wrong here? Is there any other way?

I know nothing about the API, but in Archicad itself, you can only get quantities from 3D elements in the 3D model and 2D elements in the floor plan.
