Why do some faces of my model show up like this? I also cannot create any loop cut that runs through them

Question

Something is making these faces appear this way. I can't loop cut through them, and overall it's bothering me. Something looks like it's not right. I tried merging by distance to remove any doubles but nothing helps...

Looks like the case for the Sony ANC earplugs (WH-1000XM3) ;-) — U. Windl, Mar 17 '22 at 10:51

Check the direction of the normals. Mesh > Normals > Recalculate

The hole on the bottom is wrong, you create some ngons and poles. Boolean is not a good way for modeling if you want further adjustment. Adding some cuts usually meaningless, the hole should be rebuild.Try to learn something about modelling, there are many tutorials.

I guess before judging him for the use of booleans, he should rather correct the orientation of the faces. – Gordon Brinkmann Mar 17 '22 at 08:36
