Mouse cursor dot color and snapping​

The color of the dot on your mouse cursor tells you which element the point you're about to click is on. Snapping also allows you to Click exactly at a specific point to connect.

Knife Tool Tip 1 Left: Point on edge, Right: point on face

The color on the edge is green, as shown above. If it is on a face, where the Knife Tool does not work, it will be gray.

Knife Tool Tip 2 Left: Points on vertices, Right: Point at the center of an edge

If it is on a vertex and in the center of an edge, it will be colored yellow and the mouse cursor will snap.
