I want to protrude wire (not the cable harness type) in 3D

thanks for any help on it

Hi Rick,
How you do this dependson what you are trying to produce.
If it's bent steel wire such as a CD rack might be made of then you should be able to use use the frames command in an assembly file.
If it's electrical wire you can (in a Part file) use a free-form type curve path using the 'space-curve' or 'cross-curve' commands then sweep your cross-section along the path.

bc.
