Having some trouble with flattening a small harness with 2 wires. It's a very simple harness with a connector on one end and then 2 eyelets on the other. Ideally for the drawing Id like to have each wire coming out relative to where it would on the real connector. The picture shows about as good as I can get it.
Anything I try seems to screw it up in some form. Using the move segment tool works in some cases but if for example I want to move the red wire to the correct position I can move it but as soon as I confirm it it disappears from the window and in the model tree that part of the flatten harness turns red. So I delete it and have to re-flatten that section.
If I try and auto fan it it makes a big mess where the cables are twisted together. I have tried using the twist command but I can't seem to get that working either. There are times where I can get the connector to look right with the wires but then there is a twist going towards the eyelets and I still can't get it to just be straight.
Not sure if the network I made has anything to do with it? If I make it a certain way does it make it and easier or harder to flatten? I know this is all being somewhat picky but it seems like something that can be done for such a simple harness.
