==Syntax==
<source lang="python">
# on; default

set backface_cull, 0

set backface_cull, 0  (off; allows the visualization of the "other side" (inside) of a surface)
'''Note''': To allow or disallow visualization of the inside of a surface, see [[two_sided_lighting]].
 
 
Note that visualization of the inside of a surface also depends on the setting of "two_sided_lighting"
