Please make the visibility track of an object animatable in all renderers

Please, please make the visibility track of objects capable of being animated in all renderers. 

 

I am currently using 3DS Max 2018. This worked fine in previous versions of 3DS Max.

 

Also, please ensure that animation of a material's opacity map works properly in all renderers. Since the visibility track animation isn't working right I tried animating the opacity maps at the material level, but either way I get bad results. 

 

i attached some sample files and renders as a reference.

This is very important feature when doing complex animations (motion graphics, architectural, engineering etc) with many objects (and or duplicates) that need to fade out at certain point or in sequence. Opacity (Cutout) fade through material is often buggy and lead to problems with refracting objects (when fading you can see all the parts inside the object). Also it is almost impossible to incorporate in scenes where you have lots of duplicated objects with same material that needs to fade in sequence.
