Can I render wireframe view?

Sand3

I want to take a picture of the wireframe guts of my model with a transparent background. Is there a way to render in wireframe only?

Yes, if the viewport is set to wireframe and you render using Basic OpenGL, it will render that view.

So "3Delight" is what my Render Engine defaults to, the other options available are "Preview Render", "Hardware Assisted Render" and "Scripted 3Delight". "Hardware Assisted Render" has "Use OpenGL Shader" as an option, if I try that, it renders normally (not wireframe) and that's the only place I can find "OpenGL" in any of my available render settings.

What's the exact version number, bit depth and OS?

I'm using DS 4.6, my OS is Windows 7 Home 32 (I can switch to my desktop which has Win 8 64 if that's the problem) and I'm not sure where to view or alter bit depth, is it in render settings?

If it's a 32-bit OS then it's 32-bit DS. What's the exact version number (Help > About DAZ Studio)? The ability to render wireframe was added in 4.6.3.12.

Okay, that's what I needed to know. Looks like I'm a version behind on this computer, I'll update now.

So now it's rendering with the wireframes, but the background isn't transparent. I have it set for .png and it's rendering with the default background color and I'm not seeing any other setting around here for making the background transparent. Is a transparent background not possible in Basic OpenGL?
