The void and the solid should be in the same family.

Dunno.  Are you selecting and cutting each elements you want to Cut with the Void? Separate transactions?

I think I know what's going on. You want to cut multiple solids with the same void, but you don't see the void once you cut the first solid.  It's still there. It just isn't in an "unattached" state. That is, it isn't orange and visually detectable anymore.  But it is still there and selectable with your mouse.  Click on Cut Geometry, select the solid to cut and then hover your mouse cursor around where the void is located until it highlights blue -- and then snap on it!

It's cutting fine and you need to select and cut each solid component with the void.

Which Revit version are you using?
