Here’s a comprehensive tutorial on View Graphics in Revit:
View Graphics Overview

4. Pattern: Sets the pattern for elements in the view, including hatch patterns and textures.
5. Shadow: Controls the shadow settings for elements in the view.
Visibility Graphics
Visibility graphics control which elements are visible in the view:
