Filled regions have slightly more options because, unlike masking regions, they let you
control the parameters of the fill pattern. Filled region types are another type of Revit system
family. A region type created in one view can be used in any other view, and modifying the
type properties of a region in one view changes it in all the other views.
Figure 16.8 shows the list of filled region types from one of our office templates. You’ll notice
that many of the region names are indicative of various materials. Instead of naming the filled
region types according to their graphic properties, such as Diagonal-Up, it’s a good idea to use
the identity parameters such as Type Mark and Assembly Code to help extend the effectiveness
of even 2D detail elements.
