Hiding an object will also hide its shadows and occluders.
The distance at which this happens is controlled by the forceAutoHideDistance property of each world node:
This probably corresponds directly to the nearAutoHideDistance in the proxy mesh ndoes below?
There is a specialized node type for world proxy meshes: the worldGenericProxyMeshNode. (Which raises the question if there are specialized / extended worldXXProxyMeshNodes?)
