This function doesn’t really turn your faces transparent, so my assumption is that it’s just a lighter weight. In addition to using the X-Ray mode tool, you can also use the “Show back edges” function to add more of a light dotted line overlay wherever you have edges behind your shape. If you want to adjust your transparency of your model, you can do so by going into your styles section, in the faces tab, and changing your transparency quality to “nicer,” then dragging your slider. This can be great for looking into more complex models to see what’s inside.

The option on the left allows you to turn on X-Ray mode. Let’s start by looking at the first two options.
