Manually projecting and adding 2D detail lines gridlines is a way to do it. The Revit grid line will now now follow if it is not perpendicular to the view?
Grids must be perpendicular to views to display. If elevation and grid line don't intersect at a perpendicular angle, the grid it won't show up in the elevation
I describe a way to get grids to show up in my blog post back in 2008. It describes using a generic model family with lines in plan to help orient it and a grid line (symbolic line) in the Front elevation view to represent the grid line. The family is oriented (rotated) to be perpendicular to the elevation view so the family's symbolic grid line can show up.
The reason Revit grids don't show up when a view isn't perpendicular to them is that the grid position is ambiguous depending upon where the view's cut plane is located. If the cut plane is close to the building the grids would be closer together than if the cut plane is farther away from the building. And when several grids are not perpendicular the appearance of the grids in an elevation or section, assuming they could show up, is even less useful for anything practical other than a rough approximation of where things are in the view.

As @SteveKStafford pointed out the grids do not show if they don't intersect the projection plane perpendicularly. You can literally place them ANYWHERE in the elevation and it is as good as any other. So technically just draw some lines where you think you want them and call it good. It is just as accurate as me drawing some lines where I think they should be. Both of us are "right".
So place lines where they are meaningful to you.
