Selecting a Tool in Blender 3.6 using the Blender Python API
To switch the active tool using the Blender Python API, we must use the wm.tool_set_by_id operator, passing the identifier of the required tool in its parameter. In earlier versions of Blender, to call this operator from an area with a different context, for example, from the Text Edit area, it was necessary to override the context.

Simplifying the node tree using several Group Input nodes
Creating beautiful and impressive procedural shaders or geometric nodes in Blender requires building complex node trees consisting of a large number of nodes and many connections (links) between them. After some time it becomes difficult to track where this or that link, stretched across the entire node tree “on three screens”, begins and where exactly it ends. A simple trick can help to simplify the node tree a little and reduce the number of connections – using several copies of the Group Input node.

Showing indices for mesh vertices in Blender
When working with mesh geometry using the Blender Python API, it is often necessary to visually control which vertices are processed by scripts and which are not. Ordinary Blender users may also find it useful to be able to navigate the mesh’s vertices by their numbers.
Removing vertex selection for BMesh
As with normal mesh manipulation via the Blender Python API, when using the BMesh object to deselect vertices, it is not enough to simply change the value of their “select” property to the opposite. To deselect the vertices of the BMesh object, the “select” value must also be changed for the edges and polygons adjacent to them.

Changing Blender interface language
Blender is an international project, popular in many countries. Therefore, its interface has been translated into many languages, and in its settings we can conveniently and quickly switch between the necessary translations.
BPY plus v 1.8.3.
BPY plus project updated to v. 1.8.3.
- Added the “move” method to the “Collections” module for quickly moving one collection to another.
