i mostly model. not too big of a mel person,
ive looked at many toggle tool sets and scripts, but ive not found a back face culling tollge.
anyone can help?

a poor attempt...
this seem to turn it on, but does not act as a toggle.


if (`getPanel -to (eval("getPanel -withFocus"))`){
$currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`;
if (`modelEditor -q -polymeshes $currentPanel`){
polysDisplayUpdateCulling $currentPanel;
}
else {
modelEditor -edit -polymeshes polysDisplayUpdateCulling 0 $currentPanel;
}
}
also is this possible to have a similar drawing in the viewport as XSI hidden line mode?
here are the pics below to show what i mean.

For the first question.
I'm currently using this script.:)
This isn't my script,but somebody in Japan made this.
I think this will solve your first ploblem.

global proc tglCulling()
{
if(`window -q -ex tcwin`)
{
if(`intField -q -v if1` == 0){ polyOptions -fb -bcv on; intField -e -v 1 if1; }
else{ polyOptions -bc -bcv off; intField -e -v 0 if1; }
}
else
{
window -ret -vis off tcwin; columnLayout; intField -v 0 if1;
}
}tglCulling();

I hope this helps.
