"Feature Scope" missing in "Cut with Surface" Command

hello everyone,

I was trying to make a rim in solidworks and at a certain point i have to use "Cut With Surface" command. Now the problem is that the "Feature Scope" is missing while using the command, so it cuts off the whole body of the part and not just the part I want to. I was able to do it once before, but now when I tried again, it won't work.

I am using 2009.

Thanks for any kind of help.
