How to install

There are two ways to install X-Ray Selection Tools

From inside Blender

This approach is a bit more convenient, but if you update from an older version of the addon, it leads to a loss of previously saved addon preferences.

Addon installation installation from the Addons tab of Blender's preferences, by selecting the addon's .zip file

Using the System's File Browser

The approach is recommended, especially if you update from an older version to a newer one, as all previous addon preferences will be kept.

Addon archive with Blender closed, find your downloaded .zip file

Addon extraction extract it, you need the space_view3d_xray_selection_tools folder

Addon structure it contains the __init__.py file

Placing addon folder place the addon folder to Blender's addons directory

Attention

If you have a pre-existing space_view3d_xray_selection_tools folder in the addons directory, remove it first, before pasting the new version!

Linux: /home/name/.config/blender/3.3/scripts/addons
MacOS: /Users/name/Library/Application Support/Blender/3.3/scripts/addons
