Graphics Visibility Control

When Creating family Elements in Revit, It gives Graphic Visibility Control for Extrusion
Whereas for Void Extrusion There's no option for Visibility Graphic Control !
Why Revit doesn't give that option to control ? Is there any other substitute option to control ? Or Any reason behind it ?

It is intended for voids what I mean you create the void form as solid till it clear and you are satisfied then switch it to void to use the cut modify option 

Or create as solid then switch it to void to be sustained when loaded to project to cut other parts in other families by this feature cut with voids when loaded 

Ex sink cuts shelf when loaded 

 

Accept my answer if it helps you

Voids are not visible. They also do not print. You don't "see" a void. You see the edges of the object being cut by a void.

Im so obsessed with this concept because I wanted to Create two Shapes Eg: Rectangle & Circle in One Family File Under Different Type Names.
If Im using Extrusion tool It can be controlled to show Either Rectangle or circle via Visibility Graphics Parameter.
Likewise If I wanted to create Void Extrusion Under one Family with Two Types There's no Properties option to control Visibility of the Void Family.
