in OPTIONS tab of the > EDIT / texture or color

 

ASK QUESTIONS (easy and fast to do when you know the answers)

 

btw,  to get "reflections" to work in 3d (softview)

when in 3d-softview, 

click on the OPTIONS Tab at the very top

than click on the MODE OPTIONS in the ribbon under the options tab

than in "face options" tab inside of mode options,  check "reflections"

and anything else that you think requires being checked.

(NOTE: might be a good time to look around to see what other

controls are in here ) 

 

top left reflections showing back of cad convertible would be a mirror /

these reflections usually on a mirror are best set at 100.

NOTE:  you'd add a light source coming from the mirror side to lighten up objects facing the mirror.

you can play with settings to give it a foggy look as in a steamy bathroom

which you usually wouldn't do. could also use the FOG for an outside rendering

for effect.  not sure what that would accomplish.

 

horz reflection on solid horz polygon would be on the ground surfaces.

these reflections are best at a lower reflectivity number.

maybe some users can share some other effects and settings

that they find useful in renderings.
