I'm having an issue with the reflection of my lights. When I uncheck the "affect reflections" the light is no longer visible in the mirror, which is what I want. But now other objects are not rendering as they should, particularly the metals are not reflecting properly. Is there a way to fix this. Please help! - Cindy -

Which version of Max do you have? In the newest version there is a match perspective tool, that will help you align your model to the perspective of the image.

This had me stumped for quite awhile. I finally resolved the issue, so I thought I would share with the rest of you. I wanted to xref objects into me scene. I wanted them to update (modifiers, materials, etc) when the original was edited. Prior to creating an xref, make sure the merge transforms, merge materials, and merge manipulators are all turned off. And that the modifiers drop down list is set to xref. Also be sure to check the automatic update and enable. You should now have a file that will automatically update when an xref is updated. I hope this helps, and spares you the time I spend searching for this information. Good luck modeling.
