Maxwell Render | Official public forum

are you talking about that yellow stripe? if you are using Maxwell within Cinema 4D plugin, it assigns that yellow material as a default for new objects, so you should check if that's case, keeping in mind that Maxwell tags propagation doesn't always work as expected...

check your emmiters geometry and the normals of walls and roof. seems like the floor is self-iluminated, or you have a lost emmiter near there.
