The jungle where all Rhino animals live

Need help with Wireframe Mesh render/export option

Alright so I randomly found these images on the internet and although they may not have been modeled in Rhino, I was wondering if there was a way to export/render a shot of my architecture model that will make it look like a mesh/wireframe so I can show it in sections. Or is there a command that can do this? I understand that you can turn on "wireframe"in the viewport, but of course it still has the viewport background and the lines aren't as intricate as a mesh model. I'm planning on using a very organic and curvilinear model. Does this have to be done with a rendering program and not in Rhino itself? Any ideas? Thanks!

Here is how you can achieve the wireframe effect you are looking for:
1-in wireframe view, select your model, and go to edit>object properties. the object properties window will display. Find the "isocurve density" section, just beneath it, increase the density number until you reach the desired effect.
2-Export your model to the AI (adobe illustrator) format. It will export the line nice and sharp. In Illustrator you will need to adjust the stroke thickness (line thickness)

This will show your model in a customized wireframe density without any background color or object.

Hope this will work with you.
