Hi,
I was converting a scene from Vray.
1.)
The Vray-Area Lights are now white planes with a multi/subobject-Material (maybe from a texture before).
I can not set them on invisible in the viewport (they have been placed in front of the windows). I tried in the RMB-menu in the Properties,
but there is Display Properties > "See-Through" greyed out.
(attached screenshot)
Is there a guide or tutorial on this maybe?
2.)
I found out, I have to activate them manually. Is that right?
3.) Question: LightPortal: Is it recommended to use it in Corona for windows?
4.) Is there something like a light lister?
Thanks again!

Hi BenZ
Regarding 1*, you can't make see through Corona lights, you can hide them though and enable render hidden lights from render settings > Scene tab.
About 3*, depends on the case but yes it is recommended, https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000501660-how-do-light-portals-work-in-corona-renderer- .
And lastly regarding 4*, yes there is on your corona toolbar, see attached screenshot.

Actually, you can, just go to the light settings and check show wireframe ON.

thank you all!
I will test it soon

Agreed! I just answered for the alt-x functionality that's unavailable, but wire-frame would work the same indeed :).
