Good evening users, I have a questions that was raised and I never thought about it until it was asked.
When placing a text or dimension over a filled region the text and dimension will crop or mask out around it so you can read the text or dimension numbers BUT when you place a call-out around something or even a section marker and the head happens to fall inside or on the fill region. it DOESN'T mask around the head or information.
Why is that?
See attached screenshot.
Thanks for any assistance and answers

If you'd like the callout head to be opaque, you can modify the family and add a masking region behind the other detail elements.
This family can be found under family -> annotations in the project browser.
there is a workaround for this, edit your section head family, change your text to opaque, add a masking region circle in the circle and add underline as text in the middle of the circle and reload, same process you will do in your call-out head and see if helps. thanks
I appreciate all your assistance and answers. Yeah that's fine for me to do, but a little much for novice Revit uses.
Again I appreciate it.

What do you mean by add a masking region behind the other detail elements? Is there a way that I've been missing to arrange the order of elements?
@lshannonEQEBTit depends on which elements you draw first. In the case of adding a masking region to an existing family, I would cut the existing detail elements, draw the masking region, then paste the detail elements back to the same place. They will then appear on top of the masking region.
FYI, this cut/paste sequence isn't working for me. The masking region still hides the horizontal line of the section callout (line between detail/page text). A hover over the callout head shows the line is there, just not a visible line.
If that's not working for you, then try redrawing the lines over the masking region.
