I know that somewhere, at some time, in some place I saw mention of how to do reflections in DAZ Studio, but for the life of me I can't find the information again. 

So I turn to the folks in the forum.  I've checked the tutorials here, and at DAZ, and haven't found the answer. How in the world do you get a mirror to work in DAZ Studio, please?

Sorry in advance. I get confused over terminologies.
This thread discusses reflection and has a link to a tutorial:

If you are asking about reflectivity, I don't believe that D|S is capable of that right now. I could be wrong about that, there might be plugins available that can do it. You could ask in the other thread.

Friends don't let friends use booleans.

Daz does do reflections. 1st of all you need to set a main light source to 'raytrace' and 2nd, you need to set reflections in the advanced portion of the surfaces tab. I don't usually set reflections to 100%, but keep them from 30-80% depending on what I want.

Ok...raytrace...I'll go look for that...
Thanks.

Reflections in Daz are pretty easy, actually.
simply go to the surface tab, select the reflecting surface and set reflection to about 50 ( or whatever you like), select reflection color, refraction, if you like.
Render
That´s it.
I had the problem, that the refelction would not show up, the problem disolved itself, after I did pure software rendering
