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
...
