Planes facing camera automatically disappear from view

In solid view, I noticed that  the walls of the bedroom automatically appear/disappear from my view as I orbit around the scene.  It seems that anytime an external wall points in my direction, it is hidden so that I am able to see the inside of the bedroom.

Sorry for the non-lighting question, but this is really neat, and I was wondering if you could share with us how to set it up (I couldn't find anything online as I'm not sure what this concept is called).

    I believe there is a setting in the object data section of the properties menu for each plane if I remember correctly. @jlampel  yould be able to share his secret though.

    Flip the Normals of the room, to make it 'inside out' and then in the Viewport Shading enable Backface Culling.

    So that's what it was.  Thank you!
