2D Tree family nested masking region does not mask in Project

[Sahay_R]

Please take a look at the attached family. The lines and the masking region were created in separate nested Detail Item families, then both were nested into the plant family. It looks great in the family editor, but when I drop it into a project the masking region disappears. Help!

Try this.

What did I miss?

I am not sure.  I had spent 5 minutes trying and gave up.  But there are more than one way to skin a cat.

Then what did you do?

You didn't open the file?  I got rid of the masking region family and modified the line family to do what you need.

From my experience, a masking region must be in the same family as the other detail items in order fro you to send it above to mask them.  When you separate them two different families, you lose the ability to change the draw order.

Thank you. I was off the grid, hence the question. Your solution (and explanation) makes eminent sense.
