interior exterior lighting

[conceptdesign]

I am working on an aerial interior view of an apartment - I would like to have the sun shining on the building and through the windows but I don't want this light to shine through the ceiling when I remove it to show the interior walls. Any way to do this - Hope this makes sense

Just reverse the normals on the ceiling so they won't render when looking down into the unit.

Okay here is the view - should help explain what I am after -

Thanks

It's been too long since i've used Max, but in Maya there is a switch in the objects attributes which allows you to turn off visabillity to the camera. I'm pretty sure there is something similar in Max.
