Absolutely Chris. What use is a white blob/ masking region with no outline on a plan? I  cannot understand why it has taken several attempts and more than 10 YEARS to get Autodesk to take this feedback on board.

We definitely need the options of Filled regions in 3d families templates, with parametric pattern changing functionality in projects, especially if Masking Regions are “deliberately designed to display permanently” in any parallel view. 

The current system strategy of having masking regions in 3D families as the only option to create simpler plan and elevation representation (when these masking region fills cannot be hidden in a nominated view) creates a deeply flawed strategy for documentation effectiveness and output flexibility.

If Autodesk insists that masking regions should always remain permanently visible then why not just add filled regions as an option as well. As long as they respond to parametric pattern and subcategory control and can be assigned to work planes? A bonus would be a visibility parameter control just for extra user choice. That way we can use solid white filled regions, if we prefer, as long as they can be assigned to be in front of element if we wish (same as masking regions). We will then be able to change fill patterns directly from projects and have flexibile visibility controls. That would be a win for everyone!
