I'm sure that I should probably know this, but, how do you create a mirror floor in a scene? Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

If you're using brazil, an easy way is to set the Ground Plane to "Brazil Glass."

I am using Brazil. Where do I go to select the ground plane? I am still learning my way around 3ds max. Thanks.

Under the Rendering Dialogue box in the Renderer Tab, find Brazil: CSG Server.  Click that box and choose Brazil Glass.  You'll need to play around with the settings, but it's a good starting point :)

Here's a hint since I was just playing around with it.  Make the material in your Material Editor and then drag it to that spot (Copy if it asks).  You can change the filter color to make the background darker or lighter as necessary.
