on the camera viewport panel you can change the shading prefernces to Xray

somthing like view> shading options> Xray

its in the same place you find the wireframe on shaded

assign this script to a hotkey, you can toggle xray on/off by just pressing the hotkey:

modelEditor -edit -xray (!`modelEditor -q -xray $currentPanel`) $currentPanel;

and inserting stuff on the shelf is not a version issue, its the same way to put stuff on shelf in all versions.

www.yousendit.com can host it for a while, just enough time to find a real server to host the file.

Hey Mauricio, if you would still like that Xray package I made, contact me on AIM and I'll send it to you, as the hosting is still being weird and I don't feel like fixing it right now. user added image

This also goes for anyone else who would like to see how to put an Xray Toggle button on your shelf. user added image
