+that affects the resulting bounding box, the algorithm enlarges
+the bounding box to the value of the maximum deflection value of
+faces (by iterating through all faces of a shape).
+This functionallity is implemented in such a way in order to have
+satisfactory performance.

+\anchor check_compound_anchor
+<br><h2>Check compound of blocks</h2>
+
+\n Checks whether a shape is a compound of glued blocks. To be
+considered as a compound of blocks, the given shape must satisfy the

+\n <b>TUI Command:</b>
+<em>geompy.CheckCompoundOfBlocks(Compound).</em> Checks if the shape

+<br><h2>Detect Self-intersections</h2>
+
+\n Checks the topology of the selected shape to detect self-intersections.
+ Returns True if there are no self-intersections. Reports pairs of
