Greetings everyone, I am Darrel and I'm currently on my journey learning C4D. I've been working through tutorials on Youtube, and have had good success in most of my projects. Below, is the current tutorial I am working on & encountering difficulties. I also have uploaded a video of my screen as I walk through the tutorial. On my video, at 1:08, will be the first instance of an "odd behavior" that I am perplexed by. As I try to use the Polygon Pen to cut up the Mesh, at times it will connect and cut from point to point, while other times (1:08 and more), it will try to continue drawing a polygon? I think? Here's where I am stuck, and I'm unsure how to proceed or troubleshoot it further.
As my video continues on, you will see more instances of trying to cut the mesh apart and it trying to draw a polygon, as opposed to, cutting the mesh as the tutorial shows. I've tried various angles of where my object is oriented, to mixed results of cutting the mesh *or* continuing to draw the polygon.
If anyone has a suggestion on how to solve this, or what could be going on, I would greatly appreciate some guidance or insight.

I believe I have my profile version correct, but just incase, I am using Cinema 4D 2025.1.3. All of my graphics drivers etc are up to date. I'm using a 3DConnexion Space Mouse to navigate in C4D as well.
I'll be actively monitoring this post for replies and requests for further information that might be relevant. Please bear with me everyone, as forums are a bit of a new thing to me. Apologies in advance for errors in formatting/etiquette.
