SECTION LINE & GRID ELEMENTS

Why are the level marking + grid elements not consistent in the sections? I have the same scale for both attached sections, but the level marking + grid elements in section 4 have a larger size than in Section 3

Is the image a screenshot of a layout ?

If so it's certainly that the views the drawings are generate from are not at the same scale.

I think so because the cotation text and the story level markers are also smaller in section 3 than in section 4 with the same scale difference.

The scale of a drawing place on a layout can be different from the source view.

For example a drawing scale can be 1/100 and the source 1/50 ending as the equivalent as a photo copy reduction of 1/2.

Check the to drawings options and compare the drawing and source scale for each.
