  Using "no_image" in the wall you want to "remove", as suggested, is a
good way.

  Another possibility, if your wall is not a box but a planar surface
(eg. created as a plane or as a polygon) is that you can give it an
interior_texture besides the regular texture. This way you can make
one side of the wall transparent while the other is opaque.
