Sanjay, << I am trying to produce a glass effect so that the edges of (eg. the glass plate) are light green. >> Go to the Materials Editor and put a your chosen material for the clear glass into one of the windows. Drag that sample over to another window. Adjust the second sample so that it has a green color and is less transparent. With the window that has the green edge material selected use the Put to Current command in the Material pull-down menu, and name the material something like green glass edge. Go into the 3D Editor and use the command Surface/Material/Assign/Object and select the sheet of glass object. Now you need to assign the more transparent material to the 2 surfaces of the glass. Use the command Select/Face/Quad and ONLY select the 2 surfaces that are to have the more transparent glass material. Then all that's left to do is choose the more transparent material and assign it to the 2 surfaces by using the command Surface/Material/Assign/Face with the Selected button highlighted. Mark

Sanjay, >> I am trying to produce a glass effect so that the edges of (eg. the glass plate) are light green. << use a light green diffuse colour on a transparent material, with transparency falloff set to "in" (might be "out" – I never remember.) Play with the settings until you get the desired look. Possibly 20% transparency, 100% transparency falloff, might be good places to start. Martin
