@WrigleyS  
Sorry I misunderstood, lead on by the Topic of an existing Thread.  
Search this Forum for Dimensions. A feature that would enable these details to be inserted, in 2D and 3D output, as required would be most welcome.  
There is no way to achieve your objective without a fair amount of selecting. I sympathise with the task you face, and for thast reason have not attempted to create a Building Cross Section. My interest is Dimensioned 3D output to convey details for the Workshop. Achieving this is not cost effective and the outcome is less than satisfactory.

**Section View** will not allow Projection of it’s Edges and only Faces of non-section objects, the workaround is to ‘slice’ the Bodies in the manner suggested in:

Then Select the relevant Faces, Project onto a Plane and then Add Dimensions, see:
