xray button

[ibutter]

i was wondering if anyone had an idea of putting a shelf button to toggle between xray and normal.. or even a hotkey. I couldn't find a way to do this.. and it would be helpful.. especially with rigging.

modelEditor -e -xray 1 modelPanel4;

Turn on echo all commands under edit in the script editor and it will show you these commands...

thanks...
easy enough... just didn't know about echo all commands in the scripteditor.

and how to turn it off to the original shaded mode with hotkey
?

[ibutter]

turn xray off to shaded
modelEditor -e -xray 0 modelPanel4;
turn xray on
modelEditor -e -xray 1 modelPanel4;

notice the 1 and 0....1=on 0=off, i set it to alt+1 and alt+2 just for ease today... (most likely will move it)

well look who I've found out here - hehehe!!

this will make it a toggle:

string $model_panel = getPanel -withFocus;
modelEditor -edit -xray (!modelEditor -query -xray $model\_panel) $model_panel;

got anouther idea for you, one I use all the time. Assign a new lambert to you your model, then create a locator. Make an attribute on the locator called x-ray or something like that. Parent this locator to your perspective camera, then use a set driven key which drives the transparency of your new lambert off of the locators x-ray attribute (which you created). Since you parented the locator to your camera, it will allways be there for easy access. You can drive tons of other attributes off of this thing too.
