Re: Ribbon cables

Actually, as far as I'm aware, thats the way it works. It only does the two end cables and a swath of a color in between. Frankly, people dont usually need a photorealistic render, so the two round cables on the end and the filler in between do just fine for a program like inventor. In my robot, I did make one instance of a ribbon cable that was 4 cables of different colors... but I really just made two ribbon cables and put them next to each other... so you can't tell.

So you aren't doing it wrong, that is simply how inventor does it.
