Ok, I am trying to overlay an engineers drainage CAD dwg onto my block plan in Revit 2010. I have it imported and positioned and everything is as i want it. Only problem is at areas where i have filled regions i.e. block paving and where my building is the CAD drawing is beneth them. How do i set the cad drawing to be an overlay/ in the foreground? I read in another post that near the query there should be a backgroud/forground button however i can not find it in 2010.

Filled regions are 2D and view specific.  If you don't want them to show, then why did you add them?  - Delete them.

The filled region are from my Architects block plan showing what i need to show however i want to show thw drainage routes etc from the engineers drawings. I thought it would be simple to overlay it on the top of my view. I thought it would be easy so that i didnt have to draft the lines in on revit.

put the cad level offset on the same height as the view cut plane height?

All you need to do is select the cad underlay and go to the properties. Under Draw Layer select foreground.
