how can I highlight the model that is being created,
Select it as in the image ?

I just want to know if you can highlight it at anytime while creating or only at a certain points,
You need to explain further. “Highlight it anytime” ? Select it any time you want. “Certain points” ? If you want to select parts of the object you need to be in edit mode. OBJECT mode selects OBJECTS.

heres a picture to help explain what I mean,
Does it ? Explain exactly what you are talking about

I’m confused, do you mean wireframe display???
