Going over basic interactions with collections

There was some interest in how you would work with collections using Python.

Here is some code examples of how you can set the properties connected to a given collection.

I explain this code in detail in the attached video.

```

view_layer_collection = dict()

for view_col in bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection.children:

view_layer_collection[view_col.name] = view_col

view_layer_collection = {view_col.name: view_col for view_col in bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection.children}

view_layer_collection['Collection'].holdout = True

view_layer_collection['Collection'].indirect_only = True

view_layer_collection['Collection'].exclude = True

view_layer_collection['Collection'].hide_viewport = True

bpy.data.collections['Collection'].hide_render = True

bpy.data.collections['Collection'].hide_select = True

bpy.data.collections['Collection'].hide_viewport = True

```
