Stroke Width with a SceneKit line primitive type

I am trying to replicate this cube image shape (with permission from the original creator) using scene kit.

Thus far, I have the drawing code for the lines and the vertices. I cannot use an image because the background has to be transparent.

The specific I am trying to solve right now is how to edit the stroke width for the SCNGeometryPrimitiveType.Line element.

The basic way I am creating lines is like this:

private func squareVertices(length: Float) -> [SCNVector3] {
    let m = length/Float(2)

    let topLeft =       SCNVector3Make(-m-q,  m+q, m+q)
    let topRight =      SCNVector3Make( m+q,  m+q, m+q)
    let bottomLeft =    SCNVector3Make(-m-q, -m-q, m+q)
    let bottomRight =   SCNVector3Make( m+q, -m-q, m+q)

    return [topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight]
}

private func cubeFace() -> SCNGeometry {

    let vertices : [SCNVector3] = squareVertices(l)
    let geoSrc = SCNGeometrySource(vertices: UnsafePointer<SCNVector3>(vertices), count: vertices.count)

    // index buffer
    let idx1 : [Int32] = [0, 3]
    let data1 = NSData(bytes: idx1, length: (sizeof(Int32) * idx1.count))
    let geoElements1 = SCNGeometryElement(data: data1, primitiveType: SCNGeometryPrimitiveType.Line, primitiveCount: idx1.count, bytesPerIndex: sizeof(Int32))

    let idx2 : [Int32] = [1, 2]
    let data2 = NSData(bytes: idx2, length: (sizeof(Int32) * idx2.count))
    let geoElements2 = SCNGeometryElement(data: data2, primitiveType: SCNGeometryPrimitiveType.Line, primitiveCount: idx2.count, bytesPerIndex: sizeof(Int32))

    let geo = SCNGeometry(sources: [geoSrc], elements: [geoElements1, geoElements2])

    return geo
}

    private func setupFaceNodes() {
    // sides
    for i in 0..<4 {
        let face = SCNNode(geometry: cubeFace())
        face.rotation = SCNVector4Make(0, 1, 0, Float(i) * Float(M_PI_2))
        rootNode.addChildNode(face)
    }
    // top/bottom
    for i in [1, 3] {
        let face = SCNNode(geometry: cubeFace())
        face.rotation = SCNVector4Make(1, 0, 0, Float(i) * Float(M_PI_2))
        rootNode.addChildNode(face)
    }
}

I have something that looks like this with the correct overall shape:

but I can't figure out how to increase the width of the lines being drawn using SceneKit. How can I achieve this?

For those interested, here is a sample proj.

SceneKit doesn't provide controls for this. However, SceneKit draws using OpenGL ES, which does.

When you're drawing with GL in the GL_LINES mode, the glLineWidth call changes the line width. (Watch out: the argument is in actual pixels, not UI-layout points, so you'll need a larger width than you might think if you don't want super-thin hairlines on a Retina display.)

So, where do you call that in your SceneKit app? You have a few options there. In a simple scene like yours, where you're only rendering one thing, you can just set it before the scene renders. Set a delegate for your view, then implement renderer:willRenderSceneAtTime: and call glLineWidth there.

However, OpenGL line rendering is pretty limited — if you want to customize rendering more, you'll need a different approach. Just which approach works best depends on exactly what you're going for, so here are a few ideas for you to research:

Make your "lines" from narrow triangle strips
Make them from primitive SCN geometries like boxes and cylinders
Keep a simple cube geometry, but use a fragment shader (or shader modifier snippet) to draw only near the edges of each polygon

You can use glLineWidth to set the line width.
Make sure to include OpenGLES in your project.
