you can use smth like that
VERTEX *pVertices = NULL;
LPDIRECT3DVERTEXBUFFER8 pVB;
pMesh->GetVertexBuffer(&pVB);
pVB->Lock(0, 0, (BYTE**)&pVertices, D3DLO... |

Draw a wireframe mesh after loading a .x file
|
in dx8 you call
d3ddevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME)
or
you draw your mesh as a pack of line primitives (D3DPMT_LINELIST)
