Hi there,

As you posted in the “Tutorial” section I assume that you have seen the Knife tutorial.

Your Geometry seems to have some very small polygons, but that is not the reason here.

In the moment you have switched off “Create N-Gons” the resulting geometry creates new edges to avoid N-Gons.

All the best
