I think your misstake have been that in lightwave you have to do a glassurface in two steps. One outside that is refractive and one inside that normalises the refractions. There is huge amounts of info of how to do glas in Lightwave so im not gonna comment that more here. In kray though you only need one solid object or surface since kray can judge for it self when a ray enters or leaves a refractive/transparent material.

here is the glasobjects with one glassurface only. The drinkingglas uses the same material as the balls. Kray understands automaticly what is the drinkingglas outside and what is it's inside and do refractions correctly.
