Cut Tool

I tried to find the solution via searching, but I've had no luck.

What would cause the cut tool to only detect border edges and vertices? It identifies them as I hover over them, but doesn't do so for vertices and edges withing such borders. I'm modeling a face and am trying to create a new strip of vertices.

It would help if you said which software you were using.

Probably max?

Check if you have snapping on, also consider flow connect instead for more soft edges

Scale and your snap options. If you're working really small with the snap options cranked up pretty high it can cause issues like that.
