Influence Line - 3D Display

In this window it has to be specified for which Traffic Lane and for which Load Train certain Influence Line should be displayed. For a complete definition the position along the structure and Result Component has to be selected. The position along the structure is defined by choosing an Element and Point which defines Begin or End of chosen element.
