Cutting Through a Mesh

I understand using the C to cut through a mesh. But I noticed, the cut  doen't always cut complely through, like its missing the back side. So I practiced. It depends how the cube is sitting,  if it sits at an unusal angle or not.  How do I fix this? Do I just restart the cut by rotating the cube and  continue from the last point to the oriniganl start point? i can see through the cube better with wireframe and x-ray on.

    Hi ppattybhat ,

    I only use the Knife Cut Tool (and the Knife Project) in one of the main Orthographic Views (Top, Bottom, Front, etc.).

    For what you describe, it might be better to use the Bisect Tool ('hidden' under the Knife Tool):

    Mind that you need to Select the Mesh (or at least the part you want to cut through)  for this tool to work.

    You can also find this in the Mesh Menu.

    Yes, thank you! I will probably understand more as I use this tool.
