The ability to export Bryce models is a common wish. But having this feature is of limited value. Many (most?) Bryce models are made with a collection of multiple primitives or terrains to which one applies various techniques such as boolean operations, etc. But the resulting model is actually what you see in that confusing wireframe mode. The desired result that you see once rendered is just that- a visual trickery of rendering. So unless you actually want a model consisting of various intersecting primitives there is little point in exporting it. If you do need to create models that can be used in applications other than Bryce (though it works well with Bryce) you might want to consider Wings3D (http://www.wings3d.com/). It's considerably more powerful and sophisticated than would appear at first glance. It also enjoys the advantage of being FREE!
