in this demo file I found, the width of a line is changed by an attribute called width.
i can't see where the width is added to the line though, only the creation of the attribute, and width doesn't seem to be an inherent variable for a nurbs line. or is it?

if it is is it in the documentation?

If I'm not mistaken it's a mantra attribute that you can use on curves.

or alternative you can convert the curve into polygons
you can sweep a circle around the curve or use poly wire i think the node is call, that does almost the same.
