5 \b Cut operation cuts a shape with a list of other shapes.
7 To produce it, select in the main menu <b>Operations - > Boolean - > Cut</b>
9 \image html bool3.png "Cut dialog"
12 - Input or accept the default \b Name of the resulting shape.
13 - Click the arrow button and select in the Object Browser or in the Viewer the <b>Main Object</b>, which will be cut by tool objects.
14 - Select the <b>Tool objects</b>, which will cut the main object.
15 - Activate the corresponding check-box if you wish to <b> Detect Self-intersections </b>.
16 - Activate \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options" if required.
17 - Press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button to get the result (GEOM_Object).
19 \note This algorithm does not find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned
20 to detect vertex/vertex, vertex/edge, edge/edge, vertex/face and edge/face
21 intersections. Face/face intersections detection is switched off as it
22 is a time-consuming operation that gives an impact on performance. To find
23 all self-intersections use \ref check_self_intersections_page
24 "Detect Self-intersection tool".
26 This operation can be performed using a <b>TUI Command:</b>
28 <em>geompy.MakeCutList(theMainShape, theShapesList, checkSelfInte)</em>
30 <b>Arguments:</b> Name + a main shape + a list of other shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
32 There is also a special <b>TUI Command:</b> for the Cut operation on two shapes (object and tool) :
34 <em>geompy.MakeCut(s1, s2, checkSelfInte)</em>
36 <b>Arguments:</b> Name + the object + the tool + an optional flag for self-intersection check.

50 It provides a general review of the Partition and Boolean
51 operations algorithms, describes the usage methodology and highlights
52 major limitations of these operations.
