      Good stuff mike!

      You mentioned that auto-exposure is doing funky things? Is the image below using auto-exposure? If so, what does it look like without auto-exposure?

      For the window glass, make sure you are using the glass material with thin & transparent shadows:

                May have needed a restart which cures some content glitches.

                  Is the container(group/component) painted or the raw geometry? What does Entity Info say regards the selected container?

                        That’s definitely also a bug with software. I’m away this week so the next release will come a bit later, but it I will try to fix this there.

                            OK, I understand the plague that is removing Rayscaper lights.
                            "Cleanup", is removing the Rayscaper lights.
                            Frustrating but at least I got something out of today.

                                OK, auto exposure OFF (It will get there) and set at 7.5. I also fixed the blind which was rather abused. I have confirmed to my own satisfaction that when items and finishes/colours go missing, a restart of Rayscaper will fix the problem. Also, do not use cleanup for the whole model, elements in turn. Otherwise you will have your Rayscaper lights deleted.

                                  Your glass is not right. You can see the distortion due to IOR.

                                  Can you screenshot your glass material setup in the Rayscaper dialog?

                                    Look here how the refraction distorts with Thin unchecked.

                                      I cannot do so but it was definitely selected as 'thin' AFIK. Normal habit is to do so.

                                            Stuff is expected with a beta release program, not the end of the world in any way.

                                            I have Maxwell render running the scene so the model is not at fault.

                                            I have had some time to finesse the layout and make sure stuff just 'fits' and is doable.
