Allows cables to be routed manually or a cable route modified between its start and end references. The current cable segments, if existing, are automatically displayed in the Existing Cable Segments part of the Manual Route Cable window.

Cableway Branch Entry/Exit
Select the cableway branch to create the segment of the cable route, click Pick Routing Branch and then select a cableway branch from the 3D view. The Select Entry/Exit from select Cableway Branch list will populate and display the points along the cableway branch that can be used as entry and exit points. Select a point from the list and then click Add (either of them) next to Entry or Exit shown below the list. The selected entry and exit points for the segment must be on the same cableway branch.
When the entry and exit points have been defined, the segment is created.
To insert the segment in between existing segments, select a segment from the Existing Cable Segments list.
