Here's a link to the video where I'm showing the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRtIf1tWLbs
Does anyone know what's going on with this?

$\begingroup$ Ok. How would I then subdivide this face? It seems all functions go away once you use Extrude Manifold. Also weirdly the face orientation gets inverted - is that related? In other words, I can't subdivide, grid fill, or do anything it seems like. $\endgroup$– bmartin219Commented Feb 15, 2023 at 18:37

$\begingroup$ to create a new edge loop you can use the knife tool for example, K to activate, A to cut orthogonally, C to cut through $\endgroup$– moonbootsCommented Feb 15, 2023 at 18:40

$\begingroup$ Unfortunately these kinds of operations are not fully automatic. Extrude manifold didn't even exist until recently $\endgroup$– Allen SimpsonCommented Feb 15, 2023 at 18:41

$\begingroup$ Yeah, this is strange how just modelling a simple extruded (or intruded) cube can create many problems. Overlapping faces, can't subdivide, and face orientation gets thrown off very easily. Anyway, thanks for the help $\endgroup$– bmartin219Commented Feb 15, 2023 at 18:50
