I just follow Mihai suggestion to place it in this forum too...

Since invisible emitters are invisible in the viewport too (when in "6" display mode), I think we need a flag somewhere in the attributes editor, to override their invisibility so we can see them and select them...

When I want to see them, I set the View mode so that everything shows with default material.
Then when finish I change to hardware texturing and they dissapear from the preview.

Hello choo-chee,

Thank you for your suggestion.
But we think that turning to a "4" or "5" mode temporarily when you need to place your emitters is easier than adding a new flag to the material setup.

And I guess you can tell Maya that certain objects (in this case your invisible emitters) were individually displayed in a different mode than the rest (i.e. in Wireframe mode). This way you display all your scene in shaded mode while your invisible emitters are visible in wireframe.

I hope this were helpful.

Greetings
