-\n 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.
 
-\n This operation creates the section between 2 shapes.
+To produce it, select in the main menu <b>Operations - > Boolean - > Section</b>
 
-\n The \b Result will be any \b GEOM_Object (EDGE or WIRE).
-\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeSection(s1, s2)</em>
-\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 shapes.

+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).
 
-\n <b>Example:</b>
+\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> 
 
-\image html fusesn1.png
+<em>geompy.MakeSection(s1, s2, checkSelfInte)</em>
 
-\image html sectionsn.png
+<b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 shapes + an optional flag for self-intersection check.
