Masking Region: Create masking regions to obscure elements in a view. See

Filled Region: Create detail filled regions and give them a fill pattern to represent various surfaces,
including concrete or compacted earth. You draw regions on the default work plane. It is not necessary
to select a work plane for them. You can apply a fill pattern to the region by selecting the region lines
and clicking Properties. Set a value for the Fill Pattern property. The different fill patterns are defined by
the Fill Patterns command. See
Insulation: Place insulation in a wall detail that shows all the material for the wall. For example, an
exterior wall might include a layer of gypsum, insulation, metal studs, sheathing, air space, and brick.
