Storage Dimensions not saved with Model Layout

When using the Model Layout feature the dimensions of storage objects are not saved properly. When switching between layouts the size is reset to what is was saved as for that layout, but the bay/level/slot dimensions stay what they were set to last in any of the layouts.

Layout 2 - Middle size (bay width set to 1.35m - last applied value)

Layout 1 - Small size (bay width previously set to 0.8m)

Layout 3 - Large size (bay width previously set to 1.9m)

Functionally, the storage works the same in all three layouts, allowing two next to each other per slot (1.35m slot/bay width)

Is this is a bug or is the Model Layout feature simply not intended to work with storages?

I think this is more like Model Layouts are not intended to work with Storage Objects. Model Layouts just save off the spatial information of each object, and Storage Objects would need to have more data saved off and set whenever the layout changes.

I've added a request to the developers to update Model Layouts so they work better with things like Storage Objects.
