I don't have Archicad running at the moment, but I think with elevations, there is an option for 2 marker heads and then they act like the sections.

There is the option with two marker heads, but there is no option for a line connecting the marker heads. However a section marker could be used for the same purpose.

Yes, sections and elevations are perfectly interchangeable.

Just don't fuss that they have their own section/elevation categories in the Project Map.

You can arrange them where you want them to be in the View Map (if you are not using cloned folders).
