Hi

I'm trying to make some form of spaceship. I've done the body, and put in the windows (made the polygons see-trough (Opasity)). When i render, I know I can make it show 2-sided faces. But how can i do that in the viewport? It's kinda hard creating objekts for the inside of the spaceship when you can't see it.

If it isn't possible, then maybe I can make a copy of the ship, scale it down a bit, and then somehow invert the faces??

In the display tab (next to create, modify etc), u can turn on/off the backface-cull option.
Normally this should do the job, if it doesn't use these trics: 1. make sure u use 2-sided materials.
2. u can also enable the 'force 2-sided' option in the preference- menu of the viewports.

If u use 3dsmax 6 u can just apply the 'shell' modifier to your mesh-object.
