Hi Steve, if you like to use alternative to Rhino’s default Shaded model, I recommend the “Bobi X9” and “Shaded 5” display modes (after importing the ini files, it’s mandatory to add their respective environment maps, too). Both display models utilize the “Use advanced GPU lighting” setting.

Here is how to add the environment maps:
Here is a 3d scene in Rhino 7 file format that you can use to test the custom display modes. My personal favourite is “Bobi X9” which I use 90% of the time during 3d modeling.

Rhino’s default Shaded (bland look, no shadows, and strong fake reflections that often times make the geometry appear uneven):
Bobi X9 (surfaces that face the camera look the most bright, everything else from the sides gets darker gradually for a neutral geometry observation):
Shaded 5 (stronger contrast, deep shadows at the bottom and bright highlights above to add more realism and volume):
