#update(flags) ⇒ Object

The update method performs an update on the page properties based on the current view that the user has. Which parts of the Page get updated are controlled via an integer whose bits represent which parts to update. You can determine the integer you need to pass by adding these numbers together:

- 1 - Camera Location,
- 2 - Drawing Style,
- 4 - Shadow Settings,
- 8 - Axes Location,
- 16 - Hidden Geometry,
- 32 - Visible Layers,
- 64 - Active Section Planes.

The bit code values are added together to provide the flags value. For example, to update the Camera Location, Axes Location, and Active Section Planes properties, the flag would be 73 (1 + 8 + 64).

Examples:

model = Sketchup.active_model
pages = model.pages
page = pages.add "My Page"
status = page.update

# Updates Camera Location (+1), Shadow Settings(+4),
# and Visible Layers (+32).
status = page.update(37)
