I am trying to recreate the company titleblock in Revit using lines and filled regions.  Things went fairly well but I am having an issue with creating a correct display order when the titleblock is brought into a project.  For instance, if I draw a filled region, say a square, and then draw another line around the perimeter with a heavier line to make this bold, the filled region border and this line do not read correctly on the imported titleblock.  Or, trying to create a filled region and having white font stay in front of the filled region.  How do you accomplish this?

Thanks!

You haven't given us very much information.  I suggest you read all the similar threads under titleblocks.  And I suggest you do some testing on display order and draw order.  Revit uses draw order alot.... which one was created first so experiment.

BTW - You do understand that filled regions can have different lign weights for any or all of their sketch lines....including invisible.

I would be careful with a "white" font.   I don't know what you are trying to achieve.  Sometimes logo's are best done elsewhere and inserted as image files.

For some reason you can't make white (RGB 255-255-255) text in Revit, it just appears black. At our company we use a very light grey (RGB 254-254-254) this will appear white when placed on a dark background.
