Hair thickness not working?

The thickness sliders seems to do nothing in the object Params. Hair is always super thin. H18, 2020.1.4

These parameters only work if the object doesn't have a "width" attribute. This attribute always overrides any other hair thickness parameter configured at the OBJ level.

OK, that makes sense. I see its created by the hairgen node where it can be changed or deleted, but its then modified by vellumsolver which always resets it to a tiny value. So you have to use attribute delete correct?

Yes, you need to delete this attribute using the attribute delete SOP.
