    ​Hello, Pavel,
    The Outlines effect can be altered or excluded individually for each scene material.
    Here is an example of a very simple model with Outlines effect enabled (the tree is a Cosmos asset).

    Here are the steps needed to exclude the tree from the Outlines overlay:
    1. Merge the Cosmos asset to get access to its materials.
    2. Select one of the Tree materials and add an Outline attribute:

    4. Repeat the previous two steps for every other material used in the tree asset.
    End result:
