In place void appearing yellow?

Hello,

For context I model existing conditions from point clouds. For a specific project I had to create a sloped parapet cap that hangs over slanted curtain walls (these parapet caps were modeled using wall sweeps). The parapet caps are unable to join neatly at the corners (due to different profile shapes), so I made an in-place void to clean it up (see images). The issue I now have is that the void is appearing yellow for some reason rather than invisible. Is there a way to fix this, or to change the object style of the void in some way (it appears yellow in all views, at all detail levels, etc). 

 

additional context- The void was modeled in-place using two void extrusions. The work plane for each extrusion is a reference plane. When I select the void & click "Show related warnings", it tells me there's an instance of the in-place family not cutting host. But as you can see in the image, it clearly is cutting. Not sure what's going on there. Screenshot 2025-04-15 144303.pngScreenshot 2025-04-15 144357.pngScreenshot 2025-04-15 145354.png

The void needs to be in the same in-place family as the sweeps to interact with them. You'd need to create the sweep along the top in the in-place family with the void vs using a Wall Sweep applied to the top of the wall.

Thanks for the response! The voids were interacting/cutting the wall sweeps correctly (I was able to cut the voids out of the wall sweeps using cut geometry within the family editor), but they were remaining yellow in all views for some reason after finishing. I was able to fix it by editing the in place family, deleting the voids I had modeled, re-modeling them as solid extrusions, and then changing them to voids. I have no idea why this worked but it did and the voids are no longer showing up yellow.
