These are virtual objects as such that have no mesh to be drawn in the run time game world, they just act as visual place holders. I do similar things with my own directional way points for example, where I assign a mesh to the object which is visible in the editor but the class behind it only draws the item in DEBUG mode not in run time.

That way I can play the game in DEBUG and see all of my place holders or in RELEASE mode for a real 'in game' view.

Other more virtual items like configuration lists I assign a mesh as a place holder for the editor but its not drawn in either DEBUG or RELEASE mode when running the game as there is no advantage to seeing these.
