+
+\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 lists of shapes (the shapes from the
+first list will be intersected with the shapes from the second list) +
+Resulting Type of shape.
+
\n As far as the intersection of two objects can produce any type of
geometrical objects, <b>Resulting type</b> box allows choosing the
preferrable result, i.e. a solid, a shell, a list of faces, etc.
+\n<b>Resulting type</b> has to be equal or lower than the type of the
+\em Objects. In other words, if the \em Objects don't contain any
+shape of this type, Partition fails.
+
+<b>Keep shapes of lower type</b> checkbox manages standalone shapes of
+type other than the \em Limit. If it is checked, lower dimension
+objects will be preserved, else they will be lost.
+\n For example, you do a partition of a box (Solid) and a face (Face)
+without any tool. If you choose Resulting Type "Solid", you will
+obtain a compound of two solids (let's the box will be splitted by the
+face on two parts), but if you will also check <b>Keep shapes of lower
+type</b> checkbox, you will obtain a compound of two solids and one
+face (the face will have a hole where the original face lays inside
+the box, see corresponding \ref partition_picture_3 "picture" below).

+ListOfShapes is a list of shapes to be intersected, \em ListOfTools is
