Hi, I have a `LineSegments` created with `BufferGeometry` with attributes `color` and `position`. I what to get the Vector3 position of each vertices for label.

Am trying not to make this an xy question but i want to get all the lines in the `LineSegments` and label them.

Hi!  
Could you provide more details on what you want to achieve? Explanatory pictures?  
And a live code example, of course.

Some thing like this.

but will have to rotate the labels to match the lines.

Yes, all positions are stored in a buffer attribute, that is `geometry.attributes.position`, where `geometry` is `THREE.BufferGeometry()`.
