I'm trying to get a reflection on the ground....I tried following the P5 tutorial to see if it would work with P6,But it didn't...Some of the thing are different between P5 and P6... Has anybody tried it with P6 and if you have how can I do it...Thanks for any help...

The Ground is by default set to catch shadows only. Try unchecking that option and see if it helps.

Tried it..That didn't seem to do the trick...:(

Your also going to need Ray Tracing turned on.

If you already do have it on, then post a screenshot of the Material Room for the Ground and your render settings.
It's a lot easier to be able to see all the settings at once.

I basically just follow the settings from the P5 tutorial...keep in mind I never had P5...so maybe I doing something wrong in P6...Any help is appreciated

You've still got "Shadow_Catch_Only" checked, so you'll only get shadows. Once this is unchecked you'll see a reflection.

Compare with this. I see in my first post I didn't mention the full name of the option, so it may not have obvious which setting you needed to change.
