I have a mesh 'Suzanne' parented to an armature 'Armature'. Both are located inside another mesh 'Cube'. I want both 'Suzanne' and it's armature 'Armature' to be visible in the 3D view through 'Cube'. I tried setting the x-ray of 'Suzanne' and it's armature 'Armature' to True in Python, but then 'Suzanne'only appears through 'Cube'. I wonder how I can make both 'Suzanne' and it's armature 'Armature' appear through 'Cube'.

The .blend file can be found here in this Link

No. X-ray can't work that as as far as I know. Once you put both the armature and the monkey in x-ray, its like they are on the same "layer". The only way I can think of close to this is to invert the normals of the cube, but I don't think that meets what you're trying to do.

  • $\begingroup$ You also only want x-ray only on the armature. $\endgroup$ – cmomoney Jan 4 '17 at 15:08

To see your armature, check X-Ray for the armature as shown below. Then set the Maximum Draw Type of the cube to Wire or Bounds depending on how much detail you want (wire gives more).
