Toggle viewport xray mode

[Chad Vernon]

I'd like to toggle xray mode in a viewport:

cmds.modelEditor('modelPanel1', edit=True, displayAppearance='smoothShaded', xray=True)

But I don't necessarily know the name of the modelPanel.  Is there a command to list all the modelPanels in the UI?

Thanks,
Chad

I don't know of a single command, but this should work:

modelPanels = []
for panel in lsUI(panels=True):
if modelPanel(panel, q=1, exists=1):
modelPanels.append(panel)

There's also a way to get the name of the currently selected modeling
panel, too, if that's all you want... used that before in a script,
but don't remember offhand. I can find it if you want...

I think this is the command to get the current active panel. :)

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.getPanel(wf=1)
