I'm building a shop on some land I've just bought. Problem is the front of the building (a 2 prim wall) disappear depending where I'm looking from, showing the inside floors.
I don't think I'm doing anything stupid.

Any help most appreciated.

Here's some nerdy stuff from the viewer help menu:

Hi Tracey, I am there right now. The textures on your floors and walls have alpha channels so it's the sorting glitch I think. I don't see any holes that need alpha channels, so can you upload new textures without alphas? Or get new textures if you bought these ones?

Thank you so much for your help.
Didn't know about this glitch, will have to rethink how I build now.
