Nadine,
Probably the command line is your best friend here. Look into the 'clip
near,x' and 'clip far,x' command, which allows to move the front and
back clipping planes in x increments. Positive values move towards you,
negative values of x away from you.
If that does not provide enough fine grained control you may want to
think about making a composite picture to 'fake' clipping planes per
object.
Cheers,
Carsten
