+### How can I exclude child-nodes from instantiation?
+
+Often it makes sense to instantiate all child-nodes of a branch.
+But there are cases, when nodes are linked more the general concept of
+a branch, but not to the single instance. This could be the `DoorCount`,
+which would rather be `Door.Count`, `WheelDiamater`, which is rather linked

+To exclude a child-node from the instantiation of the *direct* parent node, set the

+example for details.
