I would like to use metaballs for interior design (cave) via backface culling. Is there a way to flip their normals? :p

  • $\begingroup$ You can take a peek inside your metaballs by toggling a clipping border using Alt-B? It would be nicer to frame the part you want to hide, than the part you want to keep, IMO, but that seems to be it. $\endgroup$

Why not simply toggle off viewport backface culling?

Under the Properties Area (N Key) Shading > Backface Culling
