Are you using the new OpenGL renderer (Options->Debug->New OGL Renderer)? I noticed that there aren't any axis letters shown in the lower left-hand corner. What graphics does your computer have?

That was enabled, so I unchecked it and tried again. Still crashed.

I was getting similar crashes in 98 with the topo tool, however it seemed to be fixed in later builds.

Unlike yourself however, it only happened after a while of editing.

If Im not mistaken, the error was c00000005 which is access violation.

I've made a three-part timelapse showing the topo knife in action:
  • Part 1:
  • Part 2:
  • Part 3:
The workflow is very dependable indeed. Only once did I have a small mirroring issue, which was corrected by rebuilding the mirror.
Some things are still sorely missed (mainly edge sliding, relaxing and effortless axis-aligned transforms) when you do this kind of work, but they have nothing to do with the topo knife and can be discussed elsewhere.
I wanted to show the raw process rather than a series of mesh states, so my apologies if the videos seem too long.
