LayOut 2018 API is very useful

Hi there,
SketchUp 2018 comes with a complete LayOut API to control .layout file of document. But is there a “refresh” feature in LayOut to update what effected by SketchUp Ruby? I did some test and have to close and re-open the layout file to see the effect.
Is there some solutions?

No, probably next year!

Another question, the FormattedText string didn’t understand “\n” for breakline, what can we do?

You are using \n in a single quoted string. You need to use a double quoted string for such special escape sequence.

puts 'Hello\nWorld'
Hello\nWorld

puts "Hello\nWorld"
Hello
World

The only escape sequence in single quoted strings are \' and \\.
