\page cut_operation_page Cut
-\n To produce a \b Cut operation in the Main Menu select Operations - > Boolean - > Cut
+\b Cut operation cuts a shape with a list of other shapes.
-\n This operation cuts a shape with another one.
-\n The \b Result will be any \b GEOM_Object.
-\n Arguments: Name + 2 shapes.
-\n Advanced option:
- \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Set presentation parameters and subshapes from arguments".
+To produce it, select in the main menu Operations - > Boolean - > Cut
-\n Dialog Box:
+\image html bool3.png "Cut dialog"
-\image html bool3.png
+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 Main Object, which will be cut by tool objects.
+- Select the Tool objects, which will cut the main object.
+- Activate the corresponding check-box if you wish to Detect Self-intersections .
+- Activate \ref restore_presentation_parameters_page "Advanced options" if required.
+- Press "Apply" or "Apply & Close" button to get the result (GEOM_Object).
-\n Example:
+\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 TUI Command:
+
+geompy.MakeCutList(theMainShape, theShapesList, checkSelfInte)
+
+Arguments: Name + a main shape + a list of other shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
+
+There is also a special TUI Command: for the Cut operation on two shapes (object and tool) :
+
+geompy.MakeCut(s1, s2, checkSelfInte)
+
+Arguments: Name + the object + the tool + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
+
