X1 refers to the longitudinal positioning of the wheel locations, and it's essential to define the front wheel of the vehicle at X1=0. Y denotes the transverse placement of the wheels, which typically have a spacing of 6 feet between them.

X2 is used to define the range of variation in the location of the axle between two points. X1 indicates the starting point, while X2 indicates the endpoint. If X2 is set to 0, there is no variation in the position of the axle. For instance, the last axle's location varies between 28 and 44, as shown in the above screenshot.
