-It provides a general review of the Partition and Boolean
-operations algorithms, describes the usage methodology and highlighs
-major limitations of these operations.
+\b Cut operation cuts a shape with a list of other shapes.
+
+To produce it, select in the main menu <b>Operations - > Boolean - > Cut</b>
+
+\image html bool3.png "Cut dialog"
+
+In this dialog:
+- Input or accept the default \b Name of the resulting shape.
+- 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.
+- Select the <b>Tool objects</b>, which will cut the main object.
+- Activate the corresponding check-box if you wish to <b> Detect Self-intersections </b>.
+- Activate \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options" if required.
+- Press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button to get the result (GEOM_Object).

+\note This algorithm does not find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned
+ to detect vertex/vertex, vertex/edge, edge/edge, vertex/face and edge/face
+ intersections. Face/face intersections detection is switched off as it
+ is a time-consuming operation that gives an impact on performance. To find
+ all self-intersections use \ref check_self_intersections_page
+ "Detect Self-intersection tool".
