Shadows and transparency are setting in the actual section settings.

So there is not a lot you can do to change those based on different views of the same section.

All you can do is set up duplicate sections with different settings.

 

Cut and uncut fills, you can investigate Graphic Overrides which can be saved per view in the view settings.

Just be aware that a GO will affect the entire element, so with an element such as a composite wall with different cut fills, if you override one of those fills, they will all override.
