-\n <b>Netgen 2D</b> and <b>Netgen 3D</b> hypotheses work only with <b>Netgen 1D-2D</b> and
-<b>Netgen 1D-2D-3D</b> algorithms. These algorithms do not require
-definition of lower-level hypotheses and algorithms (2D and 1D for
-meshing 3D objects and 1D for meshing 2D objects). They prove to be
-useful if lower-level meshing is homogeneous for all wires and faces
-of the meshed object.
+<b>Netgen 2D Parameters</b> and <b>Netgen 3D Parameters</b> hypotheses work only with
