I created 3 alternatives to the “Light lines 5” display mode.
Light lines 5X (added X-ray effect to make the control polygon fully visible during control point modeling):
Light lines 5X.ini (14.0 KB)
Uses the same environment map like the regular Light lines 5 posted above.
Light lines 5 Plus (same as Light lines 5, except that it uses a more dense environment map better suited for examining gently curved surfaces):
Light lines 5 Plus.ini (14.0 KB)
Light lines 5X Plus (combines both display modes above to deliver X-ray effect and a more dense environment map; very useful for product design):
Light lines 5X Plus.ini (14.0 KB)
Both, Light lines 5 Plus and Light lines 5X Plus use the following environment map:

These display modes work best with dense display mesh. I use the following settings:

NOTE: For some reason the X-ray effect does not work in Rhino 8, but works perfectly fine in Rhino 7. Maybe a bug?
