%%%the cut through is hit and miss at times,
i have been testing cutting a simple cube in front view,
cutting from left to right, top to bottom and vice versa,
sometimes it does not cut through on one side,

%%%Please give an example model where it fails and grease pencil to show where to cut.

I tried a few times on different models to get it to fail but it works well here.%%%

%%%i have attached a blend file with a cube,
3 random diagonal cuts in front view,
either left to right or right to left.
you can see a vertice is missing, on the back, where it should have cut through,
problem only occurs when cutting through in front, top or side view
the knife tool on its own works perfect,
its only the cut through is random, sometimes it works, sometimes not.%%%

%%%I've tried ~10 different cuts on this cube and cut through always works,
are you sure you press Z before executing the mouse click?%%%

%%%i think i figured this out,

if i start and end the cut line outside the highlighted yellow edges, its cuts through everytime, perfect.
but if i start and end the cut line on the yellow edges, it seems to fail alot with cut through.

so its best to start and end the cut lines outside the yellow edges everytime,
then it cuts through perfect.
this can be closed if you want.%%%
