### Vision
* function `getPropertyValue(name: Name, inherit: Boolean = false, includeStyles: Boolean = true, includeDefaults: Boolean = true)` - get property value with given layer flags.

* function `setProperty(name: Name, item: Any?)` - a convenient method to set property node or value. If `item` is null, then node is removed, not a value
  Sets the `item` property to the element with the `name` identification.

### VisionBase

Basic vision implementation

### VisionGroup

A group of Visions.

### MutableVisionGroup

Mutable version of VisionGroup.

low structure changes of this group. Unconsumed changes are discarded.

### Solid

Interface for 3-dimensional Vision.

### SolidGroup
3D Visual Group with a container for templates visible inside this group. It has an interface `PrototypeHolder` which stands for being a container with prototype support.

* function `getPrototype(name: Name)` - get a prototype redirecting the request to the parent if prototype is not found. If prototype is a ref, then it is unfolded automatically.

* function `prototypes(builder: VisionContainerBuilder<Solid>.() -> Unit)` - create or edit prototype node as a group.

### SolidReferenceGroup

A class with `SolidReference` interface with reference `Solid`s for template objects reuse.

### VisionGroupBase

Abstract implementation of mutable group of `Vision`.

### RootVisionGroup

Non-serializable root group used to propagate manager to its children.

### MutableVisionGroup

Just a mutable version of `VisionGroup`
