scripting in blender – selecting a collection in blender python,

[mawgav]

hi, I am looking for a way to select a specific collection and manipulate it, i.e. not only read-only. I’m using blender 2.81a – I’m new to scripting and have benn trying things out for three days, but it all comes to nothing. I’d be very grateful for a way

You can try two things.

bpy.data.collections['YOUR_COLLECTION_NAME']

or

bpy.context.scene.collection.children[0] #or the index of your collection (that is the first child collection of the master scene)

I would mess around in the python console with autocomplete to figure out the way to do what I wanted to do.

eg – to change the name of your collection… (D is a shortcut for bpy.data in the console)

D.collections['Collection'].name = 'Test'

Good luck
