Does anyone have a mirror that they can share? I tried to do a search and the mirror I got did not have any settings and I forgot how to do that.

Gary,

One way is to set the shine to 100 in presentation view.

To make a mirror make a display panel using texture 30113 from the texture options. On a related topic, is there a way to make a resizable glass side panels, say for a curio cabinet, right now I'm kinda making an assembly of glass doors.

Its available in the 'Reflections' option in the texture dropdown list, then in presentation view adjust shine to 80-100 depending on how much reflection you want, Sorry I was so vague before, also, is there a way to make resizable glass shelving?

I think if you make a 3/8 X 4 x 8 glass sheet in your material list ,and then use that for your shelf material . It will size itself in the shelf/ partition editor.

I've been using a glass item in my sheet goods but I've been using a white/almond texture from the images list, what image can you use that would be clear like we're able to add glass panels to doors

Thanks Gary, it took me a while but I figured it out, did it once before in about V4.2, it all came back to me. It would be nice to have glass as an option in sheet stock though.
