You just position yourself properly and click the tile to lay down wire. Make sure you click on the plating (floor) and not the already laid wire.

In this method you first lay one cable to go from one of the directions to the center (image 1). You then position yourself in another direction and click on the already laid wire piece (and not the floor!). This will make the already placed piece and the new piece combine into one smooth piece of wire (image 2). You then place another piece to go from the last remaining direction to the center (image 3) and click it from the last direction to make a 2nd smooth piece of wire (image 4). | In this method you first lay one cable to go from one of the directions to the center (image 1).
