I've had this happen before, but never understood why it happens. Could anyone enlighten me why the floor has this strange pattern?

Double sided polygons do that in Poser 5 and 6. Did you use the square prop for the floor? If so, use the single sided square instead.

Yup, that was it. Thanks a bunch.

Another thing you could do if you have Poser 6  is go to the material room,
select that item, and at the bottom of the material surface main node
put a check in Normals Forward.  I assume you already deleted your
floor and replaced it, so it's too late to try that.  But this is good if you have
a prop that gives those odd patterns too.

What do you mean by Material Surface Main Node. I checked an older version of my file that still has the box primitive, and couldn't find you're referring to.
