-<li>The compound should be connected;</li>
-<li>Two quadrangle faces should be glued.</li>

-\n Informs of the following possible errors:
-<ul>
-<li>not a block;</li>
-<li>not glued;</li>
-<li>not connected;</li>
-<li>extra or degenerated edge.</li>

-\n <b>Result:</b> Boolean; highlight in the viewer.
-\n <b>TUI Command:</b>
-<em>geompy.CheckCompoundOfBlocks(Compound).</em> Checks if the shape
-is a valid compound of blocks. If it is true, then the validity flag
-is returned, and encountered errors are printed in the python console.

-<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
- intersected sub-shapes, if there are any.
-
-\note This tool is useful for detection of shapes, not suitable for
-arguments of Boolean operations and Partition algorithm.
-For more information about Partition and Boolean Operations Algorithms
-and their limitations refer to <a href="SALOME_BOA_PA.pdf">this document</a>.
-
-\n <b>Result:</b> Boolean.
-\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.CheckSelfIntersections(theShape),</em>
-where \em theShape is the shape checked for validity.
