Unable to boolean substract

This is what I have done so far:
I imported my model as a part. Then I made another part in the 3D-CAD model manager and combined this with the imported part. I then made a region out of the combined part. Then I created a block surface which was going to be my fluid domain. Why can't I do a Boolean substract with these two regions? |

Why are you trying to subtract the combined part from the region?

You have to initialize meshing before doing a boolean subtract.

Apparently, what I was trying to do isn't possible in this (the newest) version. Will be possible with the next version which is due sometime in October/November.
Everything is sorted though. Just had to import every part as a region into a new .sim file. |

You can't subtract regions if you don't have an "initial surface" representation. You will get this representation when you initialize the meshing pipeline, and after that you can do a boolean subtract - even when importing geometry as a part.
