Error description

• PART : Remove face option of Union Trim fails in
  some specific cases when used with Join surface
  having federation
  .
  Scenario:
  1. Open scrnario.CATPart, note that Join.1 is a
  joined surface using the federation capability.
  2. Make Body.2 as the active body, and try to
  create a Boolean operation with solid HDD.
  3. And click OK to finish the operation, you will find
  the result is wrong. << This is problem.>>
  .
  4.Another scenario is that to modify the Join.1 and
  deactivate the federation area, the result is good.
  Please refer to scenario-2.CATPart.
  .
  Expected Behavior
  The Boolean operation should work fine even with
  the federation area.

  Incident Diagnosis:
  Remove face option of Union Trim fails in some
  specific cases when used with Join surface having
  federation
  .
  Correction explanation:
  The current scope of Remove face option of Union
  Trim, not defined to manage the surface with
  federation in all cases.  A complete correction to
  manage all sort of federated surface correctly with
  this option needs re-design of this option. It will
  require and ERD to start its feasibility study.
  .
  As current behavior is useful in some of cases, we
  have not disallowed use of federated surface. With
  this new correction, we will display following
  warning message to user.  This message will also
  help user to continue the command or deselect the
  selection of federated surface.
  .
  ---------------------------
  Warning
  ---------------------------
  The selected face is federated. Try to select a non-
  federated face. Selection of federated face may
  give wrong result. Do you want to continue?
  ---------------------------
  Yes                       No
