So our plumbing designer likes to come up with ways to stump Revit trying to do things AutoCAD can then ask me about it. His newest one is a callout that will block graphics. I just used a masking region here to get the point across. But is there some other way? Best I can think of might be a plan region.
i usually use a masking region. you just have to be carful with your placement. you have to offset the masking lines inside the detail lines just a little so it looks OK. also set the masking region sketch lines to <Invisible Lines>.
the top callout has the masking sketch lines overlapping the detail lines of the callout. the bottom one has them inset just a little.
if you don't need the whole bubble masked, you can just set the text style to have a Opaque background....

Really? Interesting. I've never seen that done. I think it would drive me crazy seeing those all over the Plans. I'd be constantly flipping back and forth between sheets to see what was hidden. he, he.
