MtoA - How to make arealight visible to camera?

[numan85]

I can't seem to find a way to make area lights visible to camera in Maya.

I can see this option for quad lights in CtoA. Also it is available in dome lights in MtoA.

What am I missing?

What version of MtoA do you have? You may need to update it

Basically, the shape of area light in MtoA can’t be set as visible. Use mesh light for instead.
