Is there a tool which makes an object act as a live boleen subtract tool where the subtracting object is invisible?

The idea would be to have any object or shape be the invisible subtracting tool that when passed into a building or room that would reveal the internal view by cutting or subtracting the walls as you pass the object into that area of the building?

Normally, you would just subtract sphere let's say from a corner of a building. This would remove the walls which were intersected by the sphere. Is there a way to make it an invisible sphere that is live or interactive so it can be moved around and expose the interior as I move the sphere?

Thanks for any help....

If you're using workspace you just have to use the boolean history option. Subtract the sphere from the building and then use the link editor or scene view to select the sphere inside the boolean object and move it around. It's already invisible to begin with.
