Right click on the segment and select "harness properties" and set the color and the diameter so it looks right. When you exit the harness part, the wires will slit color (not transparent)
I'm the only one on our team that knows Inventor, And I don't even know how or when I learned it. I think I heard about it last year, But I just knew what I was doing this year.

Hi
My inventor "team" is just me too. I think the problem you may have had with routing the wires is that it wont let you route if the segment starts at the pin the wire should connct to, but i did it more or less the same way as you; one difference though i tried to add points that were on corners of parts. (try moving your assembly and you will see why), and btw the wires are just lines, with no thickness to them, the only effect the thickness has is on the thickness of the segment it will go through.
