Solid domains being treated as fluid domain

I am attempting to import a 3D SolidWorks geometry into the CFD module and do a laminar external flow drag simulation. I can import the geometry, build a domain box around it, and assign materials. The domain box is water, and the imported geometry is a solid material. But for some reason the 'Fluid Properties' node under Laminar Flow is treating both domains as fluid, and will not allow me to de-select the imported object domain. And when I run the simulation it fails to converge to a solution. Not sure if the two issues are related or not. Any help is appreciated.
