- Visible: show or hide the element in the view.
- Halftone: blend the line color of an element with the background color of the view. All line graphics (including fill patterns) and solid fills are drawn halftone when this option is selected. Halftone has no effect on material color in shaded views. See Halftone/Underlay.
- Projection Lines: edit the line weight, color, and pattern.
- Surface Patterns: edit visibility, color, and pattern.
- Surface Transparency: display only lines for the element and not surfaces. Use the Transparency slider to set the percentage of surface transparency.
