Setting Max Desired Draw distance to Material Bill Board component to anything other than 0 in blueprint editor causes it to be invisible altogether.

Hello Commander Shepard,

Could you link a screenshot of the blueprint and the change in values you are making? Also if you could link a screenshot of the object not culling in viewport.

Thank you,
