Hi. I bet this is a common issue with a common sollution which not has dawned on me yet.
I have a very nicely waxed hardwood floor. I have a wall in  the back of the scene. too much of the wall is reflected by the floor. I mean - I only want the part of the wall that is close to the floor to  be reflected. I could make the whole wall NOT visible in  ray  tracing, but I would lose my relection of  the bottom part of the wall along with the top. How can  i plug in some sort of raytrace masking gradient to  the wall material? Note:  i do not want to do any masking to  the reflectivity of the floor - i will  have figures standing more in the forefront of the scene and their shoes will  need to be reflected by the floor area that is at the forefront of the scene.

Thanks
