TRUSS SOLID MODEL

Hello,

 

I am using AutoCAD 2013.

 

I am new to solid modeling so my question is probably fundamental.  I have added structural steel truss-like components to my site model.  The components came from a 3D warehouse online.  The truss webings are single line representations.  When I render the model, these truss webs are transparent.  I have added a weathered steel texture map to the materials and associated by layer.  Is there a way to quickly make these single-line truss webs stand-out without having to remodel or extrude lots of linework?

Sweep the cross-section shape of the webs using the existing web line(s) as path(s).
