How to hide Blackbody Emitter object in refraction?

Hi.
I know, Octane ObjectTag not helps to hide blackbody emitter mesh in refracted or reflected object (glass or water), but maybe somebody know any tricks to avoid this restrictions? Thanks.

Use general visibility in object tag.

Decrease of "General Visibility" parameter in ObjectTag destroys BlackBody Emitter effect.

It's not destroying illumination effect. Which effect do you mean?

When I set GeneralVisibility paremeter closer to 0, highlights on glossy materials disappears and lighting becomes uniform.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Explain, please
- GeneralVisibility = 1
- GeneralVisibility = 0.01

Hi R_Flash,
nothing wrong from you, but this is expected if you cheat by hiding the visibility of the emission. As you can see, the general luminosity is not changed, but the image is completely different because glossy and specular materials have nothing to reflect or refract.
Have you already tried to reduce the reflectivity of the window's glass instead?
