I have made a wall out of red frosted glass and was wondering if anyone knows of any ways to make it glow dimly?  I have tried playing around with where and how the lights hit it, but cannot seem to figure it out.  I also tried placing a light inside the wall, which does make it glow some, but it also make the ceiling above it too bright.  I am new to Revit and not sure if what I am trying to create is even possible.

You can use the material to your wall, duplicate that "Glass - White High Luminance" and give another name then you must adjust the values of transparency, glossiness, Self-ilumination and color temperature to give that effect.

Play with that...

I see that I was using the wrong glass material. I will try that and play around with the settings. 

Thank you so much for setting me off onto the right path. It was driving me crazy trying to get the appearance that i wanted.

You also can use the "Plastic" material like you can see in the image attached...
