Description
https://github.com/ToyotaResearchInstitute/delphyne/issues/806
Our `ign-gui`-based visualizer has an option to load configuration file (layout options) after the visualizer and the simulation has started.

However, when using that option there is some clear error when loading the Scene again:

- Interestingly if I close the window while the simulation is still on and I re-open the visualizer(without restarting the simulation) the visualization continues working well, the scene is correctly visualized. So this doesn't seem to be a problem of having the simulation already running.
- I used only the Scene3D plugin to narrow down the issue to the scene itself. Therefore, it isn't related to some plugin that depends on the Scene3d plugin and suddenly the latter is missing.

Research direction
Start with the ign-gui-based visualizer's LoadConfiguration option and the Scene3D reload path described in the issue. Reproduce the error by loading a configuration after the visualizer and simulation have started, using only the Scene3D plugin. Done means the scene reloads without the reported error and visualization continues working correctly.
