Using Thickness in Graphics3D, I can't achieve variable thicknesses below 0.01- they are always treated as a thin line with the same thickness. How do I get this to work?

Graphics3D[
 Table[{Thickness[0.002 i], Line[{{i, 0, 0}, {i, 1, 0}}]},
  {i, 10}]
 ]

  • $\begingroup$ I remember this coming up before. I think there is an absolute limit to how small the thickness can be. Try Graphics[{AbsoluteThickness[.0000001], Line[{{1, 0}, {2, 1}, {3, 0}, {4, 1}}]}] help says The absolute thickness is measured in units of printer's points, equal before magnification to 1/72 of an inch. googling around it says The size of the point has varied throughout the history of printing. Since the 18th century, the point's size has varied from 0.18 to 0.4 millimeters. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ AbsoluteThickness has the same effect. I just found out that this bug happens in version 11 but not version 12 $\endgroup$
