Three.js line vector to cylinder?

Question

I have this to create a line between 2 points:

var geometry = new THREE.Geometry();
geometry.vertices.push(new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0));
geometry.vertices.pus         


        

Answer 1

I've had the exact same problem -- in WebGL the line width is always 1. So here's a function I wrote that will take two Vector3 objects and produce a cylinder mesh:

var cylinderMesh = function( pointX, pointY )
{
    // edge from X to Y
    var direction = new THREE.Vector3().subVectors( pointY, pointX );
    var arrow = new THREE.ArrowHelper( direction, pointX );

    // cylinder: radiusAtTop, radiusAtBottom, 
    //     height, radiusSegments, heightSegments
    var edgeGeometry = new THREE.CylinderGeometry( 2, 2, direction.length(), 6, 4 );

    var edge = new THREE.Mesh( edgeGeometry, 
        new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0x0000ff } ) );
    edge.rotation = arrow.rotation.clone();
    edge.position = new THREE.Vector3().addVectors( pointX, direction.multiplyScalar(0.5) );
    return edge;
}
