Short description of error
Knife doesn't seem to do anything. After some experimentation, the knife seemed to be functioning offset from the cursor. (I saw it barely peek into view)
Did some research, found this: #52197, Knife Tool not working properly in Camera View So I tried to use the knife in camera view, and it worked. I suspect these bugs are linked.

Other Info
I've been messing with units, unit scaling, and things of that nature for this project

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
download the .blend

  • cant use knife in world view
  • can use knife in camera view

ps
Thank you guys so much for the work that you do! Hopefully I'll be able to help with the project after school, you guys and girls are a huge inspiration.

Your view clipping is set to very low value for Clip Start and very large value for Clip End. The former is especially significant. In camera view, the Camera's clipping parameters are used (which are set to more sane values). That's why the knife works there but not in regular viewport. This is not a bug. Simply adjust clipping parameters in the 3D viewport (sidebar, View, View, Clip Start/End).
