Not quite right. Choose from the export menu outlines or the entire mesh to

render back faces and unselect the fill function to make wire frames.

More than unfair comment there. For the money Swift 3D can make complicated

3d animations using a number of different camera's, and the ability to

animate plains.  Don't forget the great gradient fill function, which

Illustrate 4/5 doesn't have nor does Vecta 3D Standalone or plug-in for

3dsmax.  And last but not least, if you do have access to 3dsmax then Swift

3d will maintain the inherent animated properties of the 3d object.

Definitely, worth the money!
