A wireframe of what?? a floor plan, an elevation a 3D?

If a 3D copy and paste from the 3D (Internal Engine set to wireframe) window to a worksheet, detail, floor plan, elevation, section, layout and print it from there.

But I am just guessing…

Vector images are terrific, resolution independent, clear - crisp, etc. However it has not been my experience to have an automatic vector format from ArchiCAD. When I did want to mess with a vector, I believe the only way was to export a very large bitmap and use Adobe Streamline or similar program - Adobe Illustrator, etc.

And now you believe different?

BTW: Customs sent the package back. Will try again with more scent-proof packaging to fool the dogs.

Absolutely not, I was just leading him on. It is a fun game.

I even sent the model to Cinema, and tried to TOON the image with 4 bit images, then send it to PhotoShop and then Adobe Illustrator. It was all fun but I never came up with anything I liked. That's why they call this the Presentation Section - anything and everything goes.

Customs, they probably tried it out, eh?
