We try to purge all of the fills, linetypes, materials, that we don't use frequently. Air space and Marker Fill are two such purged fills. Why scroll through fills all day if you only use a handful regularly?

On thing that I know is that if the Fill pattern is the same for two touching objects they will not have Line in a Section view. If a Beam with a Empty Fill is placed on a Wall with Empty Fill. the Cross-section shows the intersection as merged. This is why I think many have made a copy of the Empty Fill (Empty Fill1) So that objects can have a different Fill and clean-up in sections.
Maybe this is why the default installation has a few more fill options... ?

Fill cleanup in section, and material cleanup for surfaces, is controlled by name of fill or material. If the names match, they clean up. The fills/materials may be identical in composition, but if the names are different you get a line. So Air Space and Empty Fill are identically clear, but they don't clean up.
I use Air Space for windows and (composites made of) Empty Fill for walls, so the wall and window don't run together.
In Attribute Manager, the Delete button is greyed out for markerfill, Solid Fill, and Air Space; apparently there's something special about them. For this reason I don't delete them, even though you can in the Fills dialog.

And what about Solid Fill vs. Marker Fill?
