I can’t find a way to relink a model to a LayOut file with the Ruby LayOut API. Am I missing something?

Layout Ruby API is missing the Update Model Reference feature

# Use Case A SketchUp Extension wants to modify a SketchUp file which is refere…nced by a Layout file. The Layout Document needs to be told to update it's SketchUpModel Entities. After that a PDF Export of the updated Layout file is performed. # Missing Feature To update the SketchUpModel references in the Layout Document currently there is no option to perform a "Update Model References" like there is in the UI. ## Example function names `Layout::SketchUpModel.update_model_references` and `Layout::SketchUpModel.relink_model_references` ## Current Workaround A Workaround to this is to remove the SketchUpModel Entity and to insert it again. **However that workaround is buggy** as described [in this bug report](https://github.com/SketchUp/api-issue-tracker/issues/589)
