Hello,
Is it possible to hide an emitter using the Sketchup plugin?
Thanks!

Oops, I got it now. Create geometry. Group geometry and apply emitter material then right-click and hide...

Hello studio del rosario,
In Maxwell 4, as you have pointed out, you can create emmiter by grouping an element, and applying an emitter material to it. Then you have a few option for hidding it (totally from render, from camera, from reflections, etc..) in the right-click context menu.
In Maxwell 5 is a bit different now. You can create emmiters automatically with the new Emitters Shortcuts in the main toolbar (Plane and sphere emmiters, HDRI, Spot, Projector and IES).

Then, hide options have been moved to the "Object Properties" panel. You can access them through the main Tool Bar as well.

Cheers!
