Comments

If any one of the arguments is a list in Tcl, like [list 1 2 3] or {1 2 3}, or a variable which is a list, use eval before the ::hwat::utils::GetMarkedEntity command. Also, in these cases, while using options such as by assems or on plane, pass them as \"by assems\" or \"on plane\" respectively. For example: set a {1 2 3}
eval ::hwat::utils::GetMarkedEntity comps 1 \"by assems\" $a
However, if the values 1, 2 and 3 are not in a list:
::hwat::utils::GetMarkedEntity comps 1 "by assems" 1 2 3
