This article explains how you can view the model in the x-ray view.

Does that help, or is the view actually missing?

I could find it now. It is hidden inside the View type dropdown list after slicing the part. Not quite easy to find when cura throw the popup that the model has errors while opening it.

I very much agree that the X-ray view is hidden too well. In the SidebarGUI plugin, I have given it a much more prominent place. In the sidebar gui, the X-ray view is back as a first class citizen in the Prepare tab, reachable via a legend similar to the line types legend in layer view.

@lorenzoromagnoli maybe you have an opinion about this?

Thanks! I was going nuts trying to find it..!
