this is a good example of how tricky of Revit constraints are, even though i'm still a little bit fuzzy about Eddy's great solution -> looks like only reference line will work, but why? furthermore, why working plane can be reference line? i tested w/ line too w/o success.
I also can't quite wrap my head around why this single ref. line will work. In my family's case, it's possible that once you define the ref. plane of the void to be the ref. line, all the ASD's then relate to the ref. line. Then you're only dealing with the ASD's of the ref. line which be fewer and easier to define than every sketch line as in my image I previously posted. I guess I could check this by turning on the ASD's in the new family with the ref. line and see what's going on.
But since they are automatic and guessed by nature, who knows?
this is actually a good example on why you don't want Revit automatically guessing all your other details. I get lots of comments here at work as to why Revit doesn't put in studs, and top plates, and headers, etc. I always tell them that there's no way the program could guess as to what you want those details to be, and you'd have to go through the whole model checking every condition that Revit tried to automatically figure out on its own.
