Void Blend in Families

I am creating a window family. I need to use a void blend for my window. I created a solid extrusion, then I created a void blend inside of the extrusion. However, the void blend is not taking any geometry out of the extrusion. The boundary lines for the void blend are visible, but the entire solid extrusion is also still visible. It looks as if the boundary lines for the void blend created sort of a shell, but did not remove any of the geometry from the solid extrusion. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Make sure that you are not creating the void solid as a separate sketch. It has to be either an edition of the positive solid, or created within the same sketch process where the positive solid is created. It seems that you are making the positive and the negative solids in different sketch sessions, therefore, the subtraction will not occur.

Use the "Cut Geometry" tool to specify which objects the Void should cut.
