I am doing the Joan of Arc tutorial and it says to cut the faces of the leg I made to create more definition. Can someone give me an overview of how the CUT tool works. When I try to use it it will only let me make 2 cuts, but in the tutorial it says to cut it all around. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

The cut tool will stop when you orbit the view, and that's probably why you're only able to make a couple of cuts at a time. The CleanCut script works somewhat like the cut tool, except that the tool remains active as you orbit the view (it stays active until you right-click to end it).

An alternative, if you're using Editable Poly in Max5, is to select the series of edges you would be cutting through and hit the "Connect" button (in Max4 you can use the Meshtools script to do the same thing).
