Not off the top of my head, as the XRay is a camera/viewport effect. I imagine a similar effect could be achieved with a script that toggles the transparency value of the selected object's material, but I currently lack the knowledge to make it know which object is selected. Edit: I've done a little digging, and I think I…
Thanks cryrid, well I guess I ll be ok by leaving raycast in shaded models turned off. Like it better this way. Also what I meant about saving preferences was, where can I actually find that preferences "file". Because I like to keep copies in a "XSI" folder in my dropbox, where I have my keyboard shortcuts "abc..xsikm" I…
cryrid, I've been using your xray script, and works really good. I am now wondering if there is a way to add a code line, so that the xray is applied to only the selected object and not all the objects in the scene as it currently is: setValue "Views.View*.*.camdisp.xraytype", 1 setValue "*.camdisp.xraytype", 1 if getvalue…
Okay I have another question to ask in terms of scripting. Lets say I want to execute a command that involves a pop up property menu but do it in jscript style. What would be the jscript line of code if say I wanted the Merge property or the Weld Boundary Points/Edges property window to pop up after I have selected my…

I am just a bit frustrated about number 3. Being two different operations and not one, maybe its just I am used to a different workflow. In max this is specially…
I too am learning some more stuff about Softimage and curious if a function such as what I am about to ask exists in Softimage. I was wondering if there is a way to lock or freeze vertices (points) in Softimage? The reason I ask is because I want to modify the topology and vertices without disturbing the middle seam…
I'm a long time Max user too forced to learn XSI recently and after the initial shock I'm very pleased by it now that I've spent more time in it. The UI and the general usage is much more streamlined and intuitive than Max. Modeling wise Max feels more powerful and especially so with the graphite tools but XSI isn't that…
Hi there, I find myself learning XSI lately for work reasons, and being really used to 3ds max... I have some questions about some stuff I couldnt figure out yet. If you can help me that ll be great. I really feel that XSI is great, even though I dont know that much yet, but it does seem very intuitive. Ok here it goes: 1)…
