Checking for overlapping
One of the common tasks when making a scene in Blender is to control the overlapping of meshes. We can check whether two meshes intersect with each other using the technology of Bounding Volumes.

List of selected in Outliner collections
There is no single selection list for collections. We can open the Outliner in two different Blender areas, and select a different set of collections in each of them. Since the list of selected collections is different for each Outliner area, it can only be obtained through the context of this area.
Specifying parameters in Blender macros
Blender macros differs from Blender operators – they don’t require a predefined “execute” function with constant actions. In macros actions are added after its registration using the “define” method.

Adding buttons to Blender areas header
With the Python API we can customize Blender interface as we need. For example, we can place the most frequently used operators to the header (top menu) of any workspace area. This way we can assemble our own ribbon with “quick favorite” buttons.
