$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.
