Modeller uses all aligned templates for a given residue.

If you don't want Modeller to use information from one or more templates for a given residue range, just make sure your alignment is such that the target isn't aligned with those templates. See also https://salilab.org/modeller/FAQ.html#1 and https://salilab.org/modeller/FAQ.html#2
