shape of this type, Partition fails.

+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
face (the face will have a hole where the original face lays inside
the box, see corresponding \ref partition_picture_3 "picture" below).

+<b>No shapes self intersection</b> check box affects only input shapes
+of the Compound type. If this option is switched off (default
+behavior) each input compound will be automatically exploded to the
+sub-shapes and intersection between those shapes will be also
+computed. If this option is switched on, the intersection between
+sub-shapes will be not performed. In this case the Partition algorithm
+will work faster, but result might differ from the default behavior.
