Blender python script - unhide collections from render I simply need to know how to unhide a collection after hiding it using bpy. Many questions have been answered but none seem to work with Blender 2.83.
My product has many add-ons and I need to render each one individually, for argument's sake let's say it's an ice cream and I need to show a cone but with a ball of each type of ice cream in it. The cone and each ball of ice cream is in a separate collection.
I start with disabling all from the render (a form of reset of the scene if you will), re-enable the cone and subsequently re-enable each ball for rendering, rendering it then re-disabling it and re-enabling the next ball.
I can get all collections to disable for render, re-enabling is proving elusive.
My code:
import bpy
import mathutils

# Store the current scene inside a variable
scene = bpy.context.scene

# Exlude all Collections from view layer    
coll = bpy.data.collections

for c in coll:
    c.hide_render=True

# ENABLING BY COLLECTION NAME GOES HERE
# ENABLING BY COLLECTION NAME GOES HERE
# ENABLING BY COLLECTION NAME GOES HERE
# ENABLING BY COLLECTION NAME GOES HERE
# ENABLING BY COLLECTION NAME GOES HERE

# Rendering

# set file image index
index = 0
# render settings
scene.render.image_settings.file_format = 'PNG'
bpy.data.scenes[&quot;CONFIGURATOR 800x600&quot;].render.filepath = '/BlenderPythonTest/render_%d.png' % index
bpy.ops.render.render(write_still = 1)

I have tried bpy.data.scenes.layer_collection exclude, bpy.data.collections hide_render False and bpy.context.collection hide_render methods, but nothing works. By that I mean it renders a large black square (if I do not disable at the beginning, all renders fine).
Please help... failing that, enjoy the ice cream you're heading to the fridge for... ;-)
Ok this was my bad. I got it right first time by using:
bpy.data.collections[&quot;COMMON REAL ESTATE&quot;].hide_render=False

BUT, I have nested collections in collections. So in this example I wanted to render objects in &quot;COMMON REAL ESTATE&quot;, but &quot;COMMON REAL ESTATE&quot; is a child to another collection called &quot;REAL ESTATE&quot;, which you also have to activate for rendering. It's not like the &quot;Exclude from View Layer&quot; checkbox where you can just dive in and tick the box anywhere in the chain and it'll render.
