How do you make Interior Elevations?

So I have a structure that i need to do elevations of the interior with. I can only figure out how to do elevations of the outside area of this structure. How can I do the elevations but seeing through a portion of the structure, as if to change the elevations point of origin to just past the exterior wall. I have tried using cameras but they seem stuck in perspective, and I need orthogonal. So far the only ways to do this that I have found has been view base, which seems overkill for the task, or to make the front wall a different layer so i can turn it off, however this causes 1000 more problems than it solves https://vidmate.onl/.

See Help on setting clipping planes.

the easiest way to deal with this is to start a new dwg, xref the 3d model in, then xclip the section in plan view of the section you want to see. then rotate it to the elevation you want and only the clipped portion will be viewed.

anytime the 3d model changes since it's an xref, it'll update automatically
