Specifies the thickness: the thickness begins at the elevation; enter negative values for thicknesses that are drawn downwards (negative z direction). The thickness is the extrusion distance (in the z direction) of non-3D entities, such as points, lines, polylines, arcs and circles. When thickness is not 0:
