In 3ds max, when I delete polygons on a cube There is nothing behind it. Merovingian explained to me that they are like plains, and that is why I can see through them. Is there any way I can make it so when I delete a polygon I will be able to see the polygon behind the one I deleted. If you don't understand I will post a screenshot on what I mean. Thanks for the help in advance.

eh... it's tricky to explain. The way 3D is drawn, there is nothing inside a shape; they are completely hollow and they are one-sided. If you remove a face (polygon) on a shape, it's going to make a pretty ugly hole. If you are doing it so that it can have an inside, you have to make another shape and flip it, and then put it inside and attach it to the hole. Good thing you're not trying this in Gmax though, it'd be a whole lot harder.

There is another way.
Delete the poly(s)
Select all the polys
Scroll down the editable mesh options and press flip.
Just see what happens.

Okay, there is a much easier way to doing that. Convert the building to an editable poly, then with the edge selection tool, select the top edge of the hole. Then, hold shift and drag down. Move it down toward the bottom and target weld its vertices with the bottom vertices.
Actually, hold on, I'm going to post a tutorial in a bit.
Sorry about the excess black. I didn't notice it was there until after I rendered the video, and I didn't feel like re-rendering it just to fix that.
Make sure you optimize your model by doing what I did near the end, which was deleting unnecessary vertices. Press backspace to delete vertices without making holes.

Alrighty guys. Critquing time. I suck at modeling, but even so tell me what I did wrong, should do, etc. I still haven't done the inside. Sorry bad quality. If you ask me it looks like a monopoly house.

From that angle i'd say the back looks fine.
The front though, take the end edge in to meet the wall next to it, give it a little more thickness to it too, make it look like it can sustain some weight.
