Major Reflection Problems

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've made a post on this issue before but no one replied, this time it's way too obvious...

As you can see the shower door is acting as a mirror, but I've set the glass material to Clear ( from the catalog ). The round mirror is also creating an in correct reflection.

I don't know what's causing all this, I disabled the reflection channel on the glass surface but there are still reflections!!

Please help!

Okay I found out something... I made a new project pln file, and I copied the same bathroom layout to that project and did a render, the shower cabin is normal, just a transparent glass.

I really don't understand why is it that my surface and rendering settings are the same, but the results are different for the two projects?

Meanwhile I guess I have to make a project file called bathroom.pln for rendering -_-

So it seems the issue is file-specific?
Is this a file that was started in a previous version and then migrated to AC18? Or did you start it in AC18?
In any case I would send this issue and the file to your local support contact because it may be interesting to GS HQ.
