Feature request: Supress solid model in property browsers #1007

Description

@giannissc

There is currently the "shown" check box at the top level of the property browser that activates/deactivates features generated by the different shapes/solid such as normals, points, line segment etc. It would also speed a lot of workflows if next to the "shown" columns there was a "solid" column that could toggle the solid model on/off. The current way to do that is to go to the solid group's model and choose "suppress solid model" but I think it would improve usability to be able to do that right at the top of the property browser rather than navigating inside the different groups.

Usecase: I find myself often trying to turn off a solid model when working on the inside of a shape. I will usually draw something re-enable the solid model to see how it looks and if there are any errors or imperefections disable that solid model again and continue working with the sketch.

Example clip.zip

Drawback: The only drawback that I see is that it kind of goes against solvespace philosophy. All operations appear to be generic and suppressing the solid model will only work with 3D groups. In those cases there oculd just be a dash indicating that there is no model to suppress.
