In the family editor lately, I am having issues cutting voids from solids when there exists a coplanar face between the two. When I try to cut I get a warning "Can't keep elements joined". Sometimes I can just choose the unjoin option and they remain as two separate elements, but sometimes the solid geometry just disappears and I have to undo to get it back. Is it normal to need some overlap? In my case, that resolved the problem. I tested it in a new family with simple boxes, and coplanar was fine there, however, the families I've had issues with aren't that terribly complex.

It all depends on what shape your are cutting, and what shape the void is. Geometry isn't always possible or acceptable in REVIT with voids.
