HOW DOES THE "BOUNDARY OUTLINE" SETTING WORK UNDER: ELEVATION SETTINGS>MODEL DISPLAY>BOUNDARY CONTOURS?

I HAVE ENABLED IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENS? GREAT CONCEPT ESPECIALLY REGARDING WALLS AND WINDOWS BUT IT DOESN'T WORK AS FAR AS I CAN TELL

No need to shout.

If the section/elevation marker does not extend the full width of all the elements shown, it is asking you how you want to display the cut edge of that element.

From the Help Menu:
Boundary Contours
“Boundary Contours” refer to elements shown in the Section, Elevation or Interior Elevation window which extend beyond the horizontal limits of the Section (in other words, the entire element does not “fit” in the section window).
Use Boundary Contours in the Section Model Display Panel to define the display of this boundary.
Here, the left edge of the wall on the left does not fall within the section, and the displayed parts are shown as unfinished, without contours.

It works but e.g. the width of your Elevation Line must be less than the width of the Elevation of that part of the building. So part of the building does not fit into the Elevation horizontally. This is a prerequisite for the option to have a visible effect.
