Thanks for your help.  It didn't directly help me but indirectly it'll make my renders look a ton better!  Thanks a bunch!

As for the problem I was having... I was playing around with it last night and finally figured it out. There is a setting in the Anything Glow properties for the offset height or something like that. I'm not on my computer with Carrara on it so I can't look it up. It's at the bottom of the list of stuff and there is also a minimum height or something like that too. Both are set to 0.25 inches as default and that was too high for me. I had to shrink it to 0 inches and then I no longer have the issue! Yahoo!!

Here's a screen shot of my room without the issue. This is just a start.. no textures exist yet in my scene.. I wanted to verify that I could get the lighting that I wanted before I took the time to texture things.

Thanks again!

Thanks, for your reply.  The Fire Tray thing that I setting to glow and putting the Anything Glows (AG) on is a seperate item in the scene than the ceiling and wall.  But they do touch.  I've been welding them all together again to move them.. then right before I export from Hex2 to .obj to get it into Carrara I extract those faces.  Is this the wrong way to do it?

I'm going to test increasing the lighting accuracy and object accuracy.  I have no clue where to do it but I'm looking now!!  ;-)

Thanks!

I did find a not too bad of a deal on this site for Carrara 4 Standard.  $94.95

Now, if I wanted to upgrade, do I have to go from 4 to 5?  Or could I go from 3 to 5?  Or even 2.1 to 5.1?

Thanks,
Azeiku

So, I have to be a subscriber or something to get the copy?  Is there somewhere I can download it?  I have never used Carrara before.  Is 2.1 worth the energy?  I know this is somewhat a stupid question but what does 5 have that 2.1 doesn't...   I mean, is there some place I can look up what has been added from 2.1 to 5.1? 

Thanks!
