Shadows and reflections are driving me nuts

[bottleb]

Hi,
My girlfriend is working on autocad for her classes and she is having a lot of trouble with the shadows and reflections.

She is making a interior room and when she renders in 3D, the freakin curtains reflect on the floor, the wall, etc...On some views even the doors reflect on the ceiling...i've been searching google for the last 2-3 hours and she has spent countless hours trying to figure out why.

Im everything but an autocad pro. If some could shed some light, i'd be forever grateful

thanks
Bryan

p.s i don'T know what information else to include, if im missing something please tell me!

Can you post the render so we can see what's happening?

Also, what type of materials are being used on the floor, walls & ceiling? Are they highly reflective?

Thank you very much for responding so fast. Please hold on. My gf is making a render right now.

As you can see the floor looks like a freaking mirror!
also on the left side there is a small cabinet but we cant see it since it is so reflective!

Also, sometimes she tries to put a ceiling white but it turns out gray!

It looks like you just have the reflection cranked up really high. Open your material editor and adjust the settings.

There doesn't seem to be the option to modify the wood she used to make the floor. its one that already is in autocad. materials she creates she has the option, not with the ones already in autocad?

That doesn't make sense. All materials can be adjusted. Even the ones that ship with Autocad. Can you post a screenshot of your material editor? I'm on 2010 here at home and I don't remember what the 2011 editor looks like. I think it's different from 2010.
