Re: How to wire unrealistically well?
My team uses the Autodesk wire harness environment to lay out our wiring before actually running the electrical system. Also, I suggest doing your wiring in a way that will make it easy to replace a component/wire. The biggest mistake you can make is to put too many tie points, zipties and velcro strips in your design. Sure, a big bowl of wire pasta is bad, but if you have to cut 100 zipties just to replace a faulty cable it's just as bad. If you're interested, I have a spec sheet on our 2014 electrical system, which lays out design decisions and has some screencaps of some of the CAD work.
