Default Making a line with 2 colours in visio

Hi
I want to make one solid line with 2 colours (green one on top, red
one on the bottom), but cant work out how to do it. I select line,
fill, but it gives me different results to what I want.

How do i do this? e..g to if you wanted to represent one cable with 3
colours for an electric plug, how would you do it?
Thanks

Create 3 lines, each 1/3 of the required thickness, set the colour for each line, move the
lines together, select all three, then menu Shape - Group.
