You want something the programmers have spent years to get rid of! Why not just segment the wall?
If not, Bernardo's vertical line fill trick is the best. Will work in all elevations, without 2D editing. I would not call it a workaround!
for me its workaround, why the hell we have GDL then ? We need intelegence way of presentation...
I dont want to loose time on puting these lines on my drawings, capishi
Being unpolite won't get you any better answers.

If you model a smoothly curved wall, and want lines on it, it is obviously a surface treatment you want. Bernardo's tip is the standard way to apply a surface treatment (in Archicad called 'material') to any item. Thus no workaround.

If you instead want a segmented wall, model it with segments and you'll get the lines you want without any surface treatment.

What about just exploding the element ( keep original ) and turn fills borders on ?

actually giving it a second thought, you won't be able to explode in Elevations, so just copy to plan and paste it back.

I hope this works.
