Surface models are considered to be more advanced than wireframe models because

they can be used to calculate mass properties.

they can be used to calculate holding properties and weights.

One disadvantage of using wireframes as opposed to surface or solid models is that

they take up more space on the storage medium.

they can be difficult to understand because they are stick figures.
