Description
In image below cell on left has ~4400 3D points, cell on right has ~5800. What is the threshold for rendering the cell with lines/circles as on right? Can it be changed when NetPyNE is live to show all in full 3D?

FYI model was imported from NeuroML file here: https://github.com/sanjayankur31/Human-L2-3-Cortical-Microcircuit/blob/feat/neuroml/NeuroML2/TestNetwork.net.nml (requires new release of pyNeuroML to fix issue with space in path: https://github.com/OpenSourceBrain/OSBv2/issues/601)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported rendering difference with the linked NeuroML model and locating the UI entry point that decides between detailed and simplified cell rendering. Determine the current point threshold and whether it can be changed while NetPyNE is live. Done means the threshold behavior and any supported live configuration are clearly established.
