[Vectorworks 2011, How do I get a nice reflective Glass on windows]

Please let me know how to get good reflective glass. Really struggling with realsistic glass. I am drawing predominatly glass buildings, so its rather important. The pre-loaded glass options are ok but not great.

Any help or a sample would be great thanks

[Engraving Text onto a curved solid]

Hello

I have been trying for some time to create a 3d trophy.... A simple sweep creates the object that I want, but I have struggled to create the look of engraved text on this object. Using text along path I get the text that I would like to 'engrave'....... but when I 'subtract the text from the curved object then render some letters work and others disappear, (although in wireframe the operation appears to have been successful)...Any ideas?

Thanks
