[vtkusers] 3D wireframe editor

Hi,
I have developed a set of procedures to extract vessel centrelines from a 3D 
image of a vascular network (luminally labelled).  As you'd expect, the result 
is not perfect.  The deficiencies are mainly at the level of the capillaries - 
the staining is often weak in the fine vessels, resulting in many gaps between 
arterial and venous capillaries.  I am now exploring options for manually 
improving the extracted network.  What would be ideal is a 3D editting program 
that overlaid the 3D tiff with the wireframe of the centrelines, and allowed 
editting of the wireframe.  That's a big ask (it would be a very useful tool, 
but developing it would be a considerable task), but I'm wondering if there 
exists a program for displaying and modifying a 3D wireframe.  In this case the 
original 3D tiff could be viewed simultaneously in a separate window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Gib
