nodraw texture?

I come from a source engine mapping background and I'm much accustomed to having a bunch of useful TOOL textures like playerclip and nodraw.

I'm sure I don't need to explain it, but applying nodraw texture to a face just makes the face never render in the engine and not have a lightmap (so compiling lighting ignores it), but otherwise the face is exactly the same as any other face.

Any tool sets that have this?

In Quake, it would be omitted by the engine rather than the compiler. I do believe certain engines support textures that will be skipped when rendering the world; just not sure of the name.

i think the only one they have is clip or noclip or something. there "MIGHT" be a skip texture... maybe... there is this.

There was never an official "skip" texture in quake, but third party tools make it possible.
