You must make a solid object, place in window opening then apply render material of glass to solid, then render. You can apply reflection, refraction and transparency values to material properties. Works great! You will even be able to reflect background in window object. To make solid object, trace window opening with polyline, make sure polyline is closed, then extrude to scale, let's say 1/4 inch. You can than apply your material properties to window solid. Good luck. Mboomrang
