C&H has a little problem that you will see clearly in the image. When you tell more than one wire to use the same "Segment" (path) they do not know that another wire is there. So they lay atop one another.

I'll be bringing it to peoples attention shortly.
Presenter doesn't see the wire colors, so they have issues as well.

Not IV Pro, as Sean mentioned, I rendered it - Presenter3D for the moment. Until I find something else I want to use.
:?
I may go back to playing with 3ds max just to see what I can do with it.
However, it is easier to get "everything" into P3D than MAX. :bang:

Can't everything just be in 1 color? What is wrong with rubiconium for a material? Why all the colors it doesn't help an analysis any? Which side of the brain are you guys using?

just to get back on topic, does inventor pro lay the wires next to each other?

They all originate from the center of the harness and got to their respective pins. If this happens to be through eachother, that is the way they go.

Cory is right, and I notified the PD about it. She said that it is "by design" for the time being. :x If you want to be really ambitious you can create a segment for each wire (I've got 101 of em) and let them lie next to each other then put a sweep around them. Too much work if you ask me. :loco: Tedia Maxima....

The other workaround is to move the segment point really close to the pins so the effect is less noticable. :(

Well what do you know. A half baked feature. Imagine that.. :roll:

I am truly disappointed. If I am going to pay all that loot for functionality then it must work. not very pro at all..LOL
If you are doing wiring in tight spaces ,surely the physical size matters. Sloppy coding if you ask me. Not that I would buy it anyway.

Makes you wonder what all was looked at when they decided to purchase this technology.... Visualization wasn't that important apparently. :bang:

I thought It did take acount of the physical size, making sections thicker depending what gauge wire is in it, & how many wires are in each branch? Surely that is just visualisation?

Yes it does enlarge the segments according to the number of wires inside.
My gripe is at the end of the segment where it transitions to the connector and you can see that all the wires INSIDE the segment collapse onto one another.
It's another battle, for another day. Gotta live with it, 'cause it isn't gonna change anytime soon near as I can tell.
