I have looked thru the threads but haven't seen exactly what I am experiencing.  I am using Revit Structure 2010.  I have created multiple company titleblocks containing filled regions to get our company logo to display and print correctly because placed images of our logo I have been experiencing printing issues I won't get into here.  What is happening is, in the titleblock family I have a filled regions of different color (black, grey and white) and they were created in order of appearance and display correctly see image-1.  When I load the titleblock family into my project the result is shown in image-2.  I am not sure what is happening to the display order of the filled regions, but they are not as they appear in the family itself...anyone know what might be happening here?

Thanks for your help!

Ok - so I figured this much out so far...what I was trying to get at here was not the display order but the drawing order of filled regions withing a family.  What I discovered was whatever order you would like filled regions to display when the family is inserted into a project, you must create them in the family in the opposite order.  Revit reverses the drawing order for filled regions within a family upon inserting said family into a project.

It's funny, I did a search for drawing order in the help section of Revit and it didn't talk about this.  Maybe they buried it someplace else and I have been spending the past 3-hours today using the wrong search threads.

Do masked regions work the same way?
