The ID of the mark containing the front entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

mode_or_entity_type_rear

One of the following:

- The entity type denoting the rear of the vehicle (windshield, a-pillars). Valid values are elems, surfs and comps (elems take priority over surfs).

- The string all_in_one to denote all entities are given in mark_id_front, or front_only to run only a front bumper analysis.

Examples

The above example can be modified instead to put all entities on the first mark:

...
*createmark comps 1 "bonnet" "bumper" "fenderL" "fenderR" "windshield" "a-pillars"
hm_wadlinessetentities comps 1 all_in_one
...

The example can be modified instead to only run a bumper analysis:

...
*createmark comps 1 "bonnet" "bumper" "fenderL" "fenderR"
hm_wadlinessetentities comps 1 front_only
...

Errors

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
