Have you tried Walls Cutaway view? Also, have you tried with a keyboard and mouse?
@SimQARobo If I put up the walls when building, I can't see things on the walls to fix colors and put up decorations. So no, I don't use cutaway when I am trying to decorate. As far as keyboard and mouse goes, I play on the console and expect my controller to work properly with a console game.

So there are 3 views: Walls Down, Walls Up, and Walls Cutaway. Walls Up keeps the walls visible. Walls Down keeps the walls hidden. Walls Cutaway keeps the walls visible if they are away from the camera, and hidden if they are near the camera.
And regarding the keyboard and mouse question, yes it should work with controller also, I was just wondering if it was a controller-only problem as part of the investigation.
@SimQARobo I mistyped the previous. It should have said "If I use cutaway mode when building" instead of "If I put up the walls when building," I can't see things on the walls to fix colors and put up decorations.
The issue, even if live mode with walls up or cutaway makes the camera bounce up the walls when near roof pieces. So If I have cutaway enabled in live mode and try to put something on a cutaway inside wall near a roof piece, the camera bounces straight up the wall and I can't zoom in to the wall to place a picture.
In build mode in small rooms or near roof pieces the same thing happens. My camera view will be way above the room instead of inside the room where I was trying to place or recolor an object.
The camera bounce is worst near roofing pieces and when trying to recolor a swatch because the camera shifts abruptly when selecting recolor option. If I put the walls in cutaway when recoloring I still can't see how that object relates to its surroundings.

OK thank you. We will look into it.
