The program is great but I am not able to get the windows on an external view to be fully transparent inside the space. I am however able to get this to work in reverse so internal redesigns do show the outside detail as the attached shows.
Any advice would be appreciated...

If that is the case then I would guess that you may just need more lighting inside the model.
If it is dark inside then you won't be able to see much.

Haven't seen you for years and now it's twice in a few days!
It's pretty hard to tell what is going on from your image.
Make sure you have transparency turned on in your render settings (it looks like your windows are transparent).
Maybe the lights you have used aren't very good.
I just had a quick trial with a 'general light 18' from the 18 library in one room and a couple of lamp objects from an old library.
They seem to light the room a bit but not by very much (it is darker without them).
I am no render expert but I think I would use the lights from the 18 library and then just have other light objects just for show.

it is a minor bug in 18. I looked on graphisoft for troubleshooting and it showed me a couple of numbers to change in the rendering engine options. all is good
