Hello!

I would like to be able to hide and show a custom set of tools, with either a button, a menu option or something similar.

I was wondering if it is possible, with either hscript or python to:

1) hide shelves from the shelf menu
2) hide shelf tools from the tab menu

For the shelf tools question, I know that I can remove the locations for a shelf tool, `tool`, like:

```
tool.setToolLocations(())
```

But its not a very elegant solution (say, compared to NodeType.setHidden()) and requires me to reset the locations passing back the original locations of each shelf tool (which means I need to keep track of that somewhere other than my shelf definition). So if there was a simpler or cleaner way to do this, I would be very happy to know of it.

As for the shelves, I'm pretty sure there is no way to mess with the shelf menu from within a houdini session (save destroying the shelf, which I do not want to do).

It could be that what I am trying to accomplish is not really possible, but I figured I would ask as I wasn't able to turn up anything from the documentation for Shelves or Shelf Tools or Menus respectively.

Thanks,
Jordan

I'm just going to say that I never did find a solution to this issue, and ended up giving up on the idea of dynamically hiding shelves and forcing the shelf tools to not appear in the tab menus using the method I described above (which is pretty ugly).
