-\ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and sub-shapes from arguments".
+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".
+
+This operation can be performed using a <b>TUI Command:</b>
+
+<em>geompy.MakeCutList(theMainShape, theShapesList, checkSelfInte)</em>
+
+<b>Arguments:</b> Name + a main shape + a list of other shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
+
+There is also a special <b>TUI Command:</b> for the Cut operation on two shapes (object and tool) :
-For a particular case with two shapes (object and tool) for the Cut operation there is the following TUI command:
+<em>geompy.MakeCut(s1, s2, checkSelfInte)</em>
-<b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeCut(s1, s2)</em>\n\r
-<b>Arguments:</b> Name + the object + the tool.\r
+<b>Arguments:</b> Name + the object + the tool + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
