Either way, if you wish to do this, you may have to fake it somehow more complex than the previous suggestion. Maybe make a sheet metal part that has an equal radius to your section as a bend, then unbend it in place of the section.
Thanks fcsuper,

I believe that it would be supported by the standard as long as I am only using the resulting section to dimension features which are orthogonal to the section line and I don't attempt to dimension between them. The actual geometry I am working with is swept along two axis - I might have over-simplified things in my example. I do, however, think that you are correct with your solution. I ended up faking the section in the final drawing. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
