This is very easy to do in Cycles, just have to click on the camera checkbox.

I cant figure out how to do this in EEVEE.



Any help would be appreciated.

          EEVEE now supports some Light Paths but not all seems to be supported yet, or in working order.



          Until then, use this workaround.




          1. Add a Transparent shader to the object's material.

          2. Under the material options set the Blend Mode to anything other
            than Opaque, most options seem to work.

          3. Then under Transparent Shadows set it to opaque.
