Hi Stevecim,
In your original post you were speaking of needing to boolean the continents away from the globe.. If all you want is lines, then you could probably do an "isect" command and generate outlines of the continents.

Look under construct-curve-isect and give that a whirl. Then you could also trim the globe surface with those curves and have continent surfaces too... Maybe run "ExplodeMove" on the seperated lot, to make a cool 3d image of the thing.

I love ZSurf. Used it quite a lot. Here are two examples:

Made an Antarctica from NASA map.
Outline is mostly ice...
Probably too many control points.
Planar and extrude work, but are very slow.
Not to scale...

"Hey, where's antarctica???"

Very good johnny... :)

My two cents, from a cartographic point of view:
To create a correct globe in Moi, use a world-map that is "Unprojected" or is in the "Geographic projection". This is a world map with a 2:1 width/height ratio that will produce a correct globe.
