Revit keeps it simple and generally has enough for what you need. Some of the items include: • Detail lines Use the Detail Line tool to draw detail lines to provide additional information to the model geometry in detail views and drafting views. • Filled regions  Create a view-specific graphic that fills an area with a pattern.
