In the on-line help there is a vague reference and form used to shade the plot
using a fourth parameter.
ParametricPlot3D[{t, t^2, t^3,
{AbsoluteThickness[2], RGBColor[1, 0, 0]}},
{t, 0, 1}];

ParametricPlot3D?
In mere ParametricPlot, I can give the line thickness in options:
ParametricPlot[{t, t^2}, {t, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Thickness[0.02]]
In 3D, this is almost the same:
ParametricPlot3D[{t, t^2, t^3}, {t, 0, 1}]
except that ParametricPlot3D does not allow the option PlotStyle
(gives an error for unknown option).
I can adjust the line thickness by doing it like this:
fig = ParametricPlot3D[{t, t^2, t^3}, {t, 0, 1}];
fig[[1]] = Prepend[fig[[1]], Thickness[0.02]];
Show[fig]
I'm just being curious, is there any easier way?
