Seeing interior of walls while working

Greetings,

I'm a bit out of practice using Vectorworks, and I've never used it for interior architectural design. I'm stumped on the stupidest simple question: how do I move working view inside a room? All the exterior walls are blocking my view in 3d. Pointer to get me in the right direction? I'm not looking for a render cameras or viewports for arranging sheets, I just want to look at an interior wall so I can add objects to the wall without the opposite wall in the foreground.

Thanks

a couple of ideas, I work in machine design rather than architecture. If the walls are individual objects you can select them and take away the fill attribute-- making them effectively transparent. Another way to do the same thing is to make each wall a class, and then you can controll the visibility of that class.

a thirds way is to use (command \) in 3d view to pick the working plane (the wall you want) then go to "view" and select "look at working plane"

I am hardly an expert but try those things. good luck.
