The convention, in South Africa at least (not too sure about the rest of the world), for showing new timber in section is with a cross from corner to corner[]. Any suggestions?

Try this exercise:
Estimate how much time you typically would spend per project manually adding cross lines to plan/section drawings (and make allowance for manually adjusting these lines when the client wants 'minor changes' late in the documentation process) and multiply this by your standard hourly rate for drafting/documentation.
I suspect you will find that the investment pays for itself by the first project, without even considering all the other features.
