    In my game, I want the player to have xray capability and see through a wall.

    However, the building model is a complete whole mesh, therefore disabling the mesh is not an option. I plan to calculate the volume that contains the wall, and tell unity not to render polygons in this volume. Is there some method to do that? any suggestions?

    Make a shader who use custom parameters (cylinder, cone, sphere ...) to make pixels transparent based on their world space position ;)

    Look for cross section shaders as an example.
