Once you open your model and have it oriented the way you want it, select the model, right click and select copy. Use smash to extract wireframe and select the tolerance. You should get all of the wireframe data you need from there.

Another way of going about it, is after you click "file" "open" and you select the solid, click the options tab (lower left side of OPEN window. There you can set it to open as a solid, and wireframe.
