thanks in advance for any help

wireframes are heavy indeed.
But if you have the bounding Polymeshes, 3d-faces or Solids. i.e some kind of "sorted" wireframes, so I can help.

A simple box structure could be used to then extrude a solid or to draw
a 3d solid box ontop of.

What is the Wirframe at the moment ? Description wouldhelp.

Wheels, archs, etc are all possible with a combination of these commands.
