Here's how I do it.
Explanation:
cis-1,3-diethylcyclohexane
Start with a basic cyclohexane chair.
Draw the axial and equatorial bonds at atoms 1 and 3.
Insert ethyl groups at the two equatorial positions
And we have our structure.
(
Draw an arbitrary structure with both groups on wedges and assign configurations.
If any had been wrong, I would have interchanged the wedge and dash on that carbon.
Now we must draw the conformation.
This is also a cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane, so we put the substituents in the equatorial positions.
Again, we have our structure.
