About a year ago I thought such a situation scandalous and extraordinary, but now I am starting to assume it as ordinary and just the way some people do drawings. Was I lucky before? Am I being very unlucky recently? Is that just the way things are and I was not aware?

Archicad is only partly to blame as is any CAD package. It is (and always has been) the person doing the work. It is hard but if you keep on their cases about it they may change or move on (yipee).

Our practice always draws elevations in 2D, using Archicad's automatically generated elevations as a template, but then disassociating the elevation from the model. I'm sure this is not a good idea - and can lead to discrepancies between the plan and elevation (which is what Archicad is supposed to eliminate) - but how else to obtain the drafted quality?
I'd be interested to hear what other practices do.

Section markers give you limited near/far control, which does a lot when combined with using the "model" pen settings for walls, and a couple polylines to darken up the overall outlines/groundlines.
These may not solve every situation, but go a long way towards line weight control in 3D views/.

This would give an endless variation in pens based on depth, and allow the user more control.
