This has been brought up some other times. Allegedly the free standing walls are treated like the normal walls, and so, depending on the direction you went when laying them, they will be shown or not on that specific angle; they are considered to be blocking the view, just like those on the houses.

Whether they should behave like this or not I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if it’s by design.  
Surely it looks like a bug for people who don’t notice that it’s caused by the buliding vision switch.

@not_owen_wilson / @yshan do you know if this was intended from the beginning, or if there are plans to change it?
