I'm back in better health, so it's time for some answers.
@B-tone:
Yep, I think about recreating 1 object per track sector, each part being a track part. I added it to the todo list.
As far as I know, lines do not have any width/banking setting but I'm maybe wrong and these are maybe amongst unknown values.
Deleting sectors is a nonsense actualy because it only creates a bigger stretched sector to fill the gap left by deleted sectors. The other solution where following sectors would snap last undeleted sector and match its orientation is a possibility but it would force to recreate the cc-line (what you will surely do anyway). I don't know yet.
Batch processing .gp4 object manipulation could be a solution to the lack of multiple section but it would need a whole new feature by itself. I hope I could bring multi-selection instead of being forced to come to such solution.
@Turbo Lover: could you re-explain me that again ?
The way it is now, fence builder let you specify any start-end point (relative to a known point) so you can create any stripe all around the track. you can then just repeat the procedure to create more stripes and mesh your terrain.

i build the track "Reims" and there are many hills and lowerings...
I use the function "Track profile" to insert the hills and lowerings, but it's cost much time...
Can you insert a funktion there i can mark lots of sectors in Track Profile and can build a hill or lowering...
Sorry for my bad english

If you look at the Nurburgring (http://theracingline.net/racingcircuits/racingcircuits/Germany/Nurburgring2002.html) and compare the GP and Sprint circuits, you can see that using the GP dat to make the Sprint circuit just needs a few sectors added for the hairpin, and then all the old sectors deleted. Thats just one example, but I would use some kind of batch delete quite a bit. There would be problems (cc line, etc) but they are there now if you delete sectors one at a time.
Sometimes I work on two layouts like that example, and I'd like the last job to be deleting the extra sectors, but I need to delete them for testing before, so I might end up needing to delete them dozens of times, and returning to the dat with all the sectors.

Firstly, glad you're ok again.
With GP4 Builder you can only give start-end point values track sector wise, but not the fence itself.
Example, if i want to create a stripe land of 50 sectors with a width of 20 m and a Z offset of 2 m from sector 100 and i want it to end with a width of 24 m and a Z offset of 1 m at sector 150, that is not possible.
If i now want elevation changes with land you'll get gaps between sections with different Z offsets.
Hope you understand it now what i mean.

@B-tone: OK, I will see what I can do to add multiple sector deletion.
@Turbo_Lover: Yep, got it now. There's so much I could add to fence builder...

Everything is possible. I just don't know when.
(and this particular feature would take a lot of time to be added correctly)
To conclude on a better note, here is something that might please TheDarkListener above and all the other people who asked this feature before him : Roller Coaster tracks

That would be a funny Monaco circuit!

@Turbo_Lover: re-reading your explanatory post again and concerning elevation gaps, (actual and manual) vertice snapping feature could help to perfectly match fence edge vertice to close any gap.

Create your fences and displace any vertice to get the shape you want.
Then group fences in a single object (or group fences first, whatever). Once they will be in a single object, vertice will snap each other when you will displace them (exact snapping distance can be set in preferences). This way you will be able to close the gaps.
