sim.setModelProperty is not being respected by VR-Toolbox #12

Hi, This isn't a big problem, still I wanted to drop you a line. In my code I tried using sim.setModelProperty(objHandle, sim.modelproperty_not_visible), which works in CoppeliaSim, but does not affect Vr-Toolbox.

(I didn't check the behavior of other model properties)

This isn't a big problem because layers could still be used to show/hide objects during simulation.

edit 1: I noticed simSetObjectInt32Parameter(objHandle, sim.objintparam_visibility_layer,0) also has no effect, so it seems I must resort to hiding layers during simulation. edit 2: There's no way to hide an entire layer from within a script, like how the layer selection dialog box works. Which means there isn't a way (Or I can't find such a way) to hide objects during simulation in VR toolbox. So this bug isn't so small after all.

Yeah the toolbox does not read visibility flags. Not many model properties are read by the toolbox, that would be too slow.

I know that in the past I have hidden layers from within a script, the same way the dialog works. So it should be possible.
