I'm wondering if there are any tips for exporting /saving wire frame (and other non-rendered doc. styles) images to a new (bigger) window in the same way that rendered images can be exported. Apologies if this is simple stuff to you guys -I've only just managed to get P3 with a back issue of 3D world!

I haven't tried it, but you can use the make movie option to do this. Create a one keyframe scene, by deleting 29 of the 30 default frames. Use "sequenced image files" .TIF format, check in "Use current display settings" and "anti-alias". It should create one or two tif renders with the size you need...in theory anyway ;-)

Thanks, Jeff, sounds promising but not something to get my head around when I've had a few ciders - maybe later! - pp

Yes, Jeff, it does work - a few points just in case anyone out there is interested. All as you suggested, but I dialled in 1 frame at 1fps and it only outputted a single frame/tiff as required. Works with all the doc. styles, and just out of interest I wondered what the max. size of file it could cope with was. It didn't like 10000 by 10000 or 9000 by 9000 pixels but it coped with 8000 by 8000 - took about 12 to 15 mins (wasnt timing) on my 800Meg PC. As I couldn't get out once it had started outputting I wasnt keen to find the exact limit! the 244 Mb file took about 4mins to open in Pshp 5.5 (256mb) so I wont be doing this very often. Thanks again - it's nice to know I can get meshes of reasonable size for blending purposes etc...pp

I guess the max size depends on your system and memory.
