object view question

[Dageris]

Hey guys i wanted to know if there was a way i could view lets say cube but from the inside. I made a cube and can see it, but only the outside, is there a way to invert something so i can view the inside. I know maya can do it, because i had to make a room doing it that way. Any ideas thanks for the help

...and set the cube's visibility to front faces only.

alternatively just set it to back faces only. no need to invert.

thanks for the help guys, i tried the invert way and it just flipped the normals it seemed, and as for the backfaceing it didnt do anything when i switched it. The only way i can see in the cube is if i zoom in really close. Any thoughts, am i missing something? thanks for the help

Well, flipping normals is exactly what inverting does.
Are we talking about a render? or shaded view mode?
If it's shaded view, then you need to switch on the camera's Display Options > Performance > Backface Culling

I think what you are looking for is to invert the normals, then activate backface culling so you can see inside the cube.

Yes i meant the shaded view, sorry i couldnt make it clearer, thats exactly what i wanted. Thanks for the help guys!
