On the Layout
With coverings and wires shown on bundles (on by default), a Bundle with a spiral wrap covering is drawn as angled turns in the wrap’s Color, with the bundle’s wires showing in the gaps between them and the back of each turn drawn in a darker shade behind the wires. When a bundle has several coverings, only the one most likely to be outermost is drawn. With Draw coverings and wires in colour turned off under Harness settings → Layout, it is drawn grey.
When bundles are drawn at their estimated thickness, the covering’s Thickness is added to each side of the bundle’s drawn width.
