$no_draw is a material shader parameter available in all 
Source games. It is a setting that causes the material to not be drawn or rendered at all. Usually used to quickly hide parts of a model, without having to make a transparent texture.
Similar to %CompileNoDraw, except this can be applied to models. This can be used as a workaround to the broken "Removemodel" on $lod, or to have a material disappear in a specific skin. Note that the geometry is still loaded into memory; it only prevents it from rendering.
Confirm:Not on all shaders? Seems to not work on wireframe, since mat_wireframe causes the geometry to render.Example
VertexLitGeneric
{
$no_draw 1
}
