Anyone have a good way to model a representation of ribbon cable going into into a jacketed cable?

This is a 20 conductor ribbon cable
It’s adjustable from .428 inches wide to 1.428 inches wide
To do this, you only need adjust the very first item in the features list which is #r1
You can set this from .06 to .2
Once you adjust #r1, everything else will change accordingly
Maybe later I’ll look into getting the conductors a little closer together

Our own @Jason_S created this bent ribbon cable custom feature which seems similar enough to what you are attempting. Check it out and add to your toolbar to give it a try:
