-To produce a \b Section operation in the <b>Main Menu</b> select
-<b>Operations - > Boolean - > Section</b>
+\b Section operation creates an edge or a wire representing the intersection of surfaces of two shapes.
-This operation creates the section between 2 shapes.
-
-The \b Result will be any \b GEOM_Object (EDGE or WIRE).

-<b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeSection(s1, s2, checkSelfInte)</em>\n
-<b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.\n
-<b>Advanced option:</b>

-\note This algorithm doesn't find all types of self-intersections. It is tuned
+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 intersecting <b>Objects</b>.
+- 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 (EDGE or WIRE).

+\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 please use \ref check_self_intersections_page
+ all self-intersections use \ref check_self_intersections_page
"Detect Self-intersection tool".
+
+This operation can be performed using a <b>TUI Command:</b>

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