-
-Solver
-   Algorithm used to calculate the Boolean intersections.
-
-   :Fast:
-      Uses a mathematically simple solver which offers the best performance;
-      however, this solver lacks support for overlapping geometry.
-   :Exact:
-      Uses a mathematically complex solver which offers the best results and has full
-      support for overlapping geometry; however, this solver is much slower than the
-      *Fast Solver*.
-
-Trim Mode
-   Geometry can be either added or removed by choosing one of these modes.
-
-   :Difference:
-      Removes geometry, filling any holes that are created.
-   :Union:
-      Creates a geometry and joins any intersections with existing geometry.
-   :Join:
-      Similar to *Union* but joins the mesh as separate geometry,
-      without performing any Boolean operations with existing geometry.
-
-Shape Orientation
-   The method used to orientate the trimming shape.
-
-   :View:
-      Use the view to orientate the trimming shape.
-   :Surface:
-      Use the surface normal to orientate the trimming shape.
-
-Extrude Mode
-   :Fixed:
-      Aligns new geometry orthogonally for 90 degree angles in depth.
-   :Project:
-      Aligns new geometry with the perspective of the current view for a tapered result.
-
-Use Cursor for Depth
-   Use cursor location and radius for the dimensions and position of the trimming shape.
-   If not set, the tool uses the full depth of the object from the camera view.
