When in editor i know the entities turn to big yellow blocks as you move away to reduce editor lag, but how do you make it so they dont turn into those big yellow blocks even if you move far away? I want to be able to so i can have a better view of what im mapping.

You gotta admit. As far as I know, its original.

/me has no answer as well. I bet it has no solution as its not really necessary to mapping. We made maps for ages with no model representation at all.
