    Hi,

    I installed the swift3D plug-in already and can render object to swf format. May I ask a stupid question?

    How can I render only the wireframe of an object to swf format?

    Thanks for any kind help.

    in the view port that you are rendering, lets say its perspective, right click the perspective text and choose wireframe.

    Actually, you can select edges only and get the wireframe you desire. Uncheck the fills box, check the edges box, select outlines or entire mesh (shows all polygons), choose hidden edges if you would like to have a true wireframe rather than outlines only, and then export it. No need to change anything in the actual scene.

    Thanks for all of your advice.

    Also, how can I change the color of the wireframe?

    AND

    Can I export the UNHIDDEN object only? I mean if I have 4 objects in the perspective view and hide 3 out of them. Can I just export the last one?

    Thanks for your all of your kind suggestion.

    You can double click on "edge color" under the edge options menu for a color picker. Yes, you can hide objects and they will not be rendered in the scene.

    If you click on the "About" button in the render dialog you can access an HTML based help system that will give you a better understanding of how everything works. Good Luck!
