Thanks...that does the trick for the floor level.  I'm still having problems

at that point.  Is there a way to move the floor towards the camera to fix
this?

  I've experienced this same problem. As Gary correctly points out in
another reply, the floor is infinite, but it's possible to position the
camera so low relative to the floor that the floor slices through the "lens"
of the camera; since there's nothing underneath the floor (not even a light
source), the area shows up as black space.  I don't have specifics, and I
can't make ironclad claims about this, but I've noticed that if you raise
the camera higher above the floor, you can avoid this black "cut-off" area.
Changing the angle between camera and look_at might also help, but I haven't
played around with that.
  If I'm way off base about this, someone please correct me, but I've had
some success fixing the problem in this way.
