Hello Everyone!

There is a greate example of thick lines: [https://threejs.org/examples/?q=line#webgl\_lines\_fat](https://threejs.org/examples/?q=line#webgl_lines_fat)

Can I have these lines extruded?

Thank you

The way wide lines are rendered in the shader makes it impossible to extrude them. Have you considered to use [TubeBufferGeometry](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#api/en/geometries/TubeBufferGeometry) for your use case?
