Global Parameters for S/E Settings?

After searching through the available documentation, it does not appear that there are any Global Parameters for S/E Settings, specifically the "Markers" setting (Section or Elevation, see attached). Is this true? If so, is there any way to reference this setting in the GDL script?

Not that I've been able to find. It would be nice though!

I too want to find out a global variable for a pen of a section line.
Developers can open a secret?

I would try SYMB_VIEW_PEN or SYMB_SECT_PEN. Just a try.

I already tried all names from GDL-Manual. Tried to make the names. Unsuccessfully.
Pen SYMB_VIEW_PEN draws a marker.

All parameter names you find here are checked by the resource files of ArchiCAD 10. There might only be optional parameters, which are allowed, but not created, if you change object subtype to section marker. All others are listed there. No chance to find one more, I think.
