For Blender 3.6 and up use latest DrawXray 3.4

For Blender 3.4 and down use DrawXray 3.2

Location:

Top bar -> 'Viewport Overlays' popup panel (object edimode popup panel).

Draw Xray addon will help you to draw retopo mesh on top of your highpoly mesh, without problems of build-in blender xray (no proper back-face culling).

How to use:

  • grab addon from here Draw Xray
  • install it by searching addon by name 'Xray'
  • go to Properties panel -> shading - Draw Xray (blender 2.79)


After installation you will be able to see your mesh now and few more control sliders:

  • Object offset - will determine how much your lowpoly object will be rendered in front of other objects. Set it to 0 to get default blender behavior.
  • Polygon color opacity
  • Edge /Vertex color opacity.
