What part of Layout is associative?

Cady

I am sure this has been discussed but I must be missing something here. I have tried the free trial of layout. I created a simple model and brought it in to layout. I added dimension in layout. I moved some faces on the simple box and save it in sketch up. I went back to layout and updated the model. None of the dimensions moved.

Is this the intended functionality of Layout? I have to go back and manually update dimension?

I hope I am just using it incorrectly.

Thank you.

There are several threads about this subject and there are several people who insist dimensions in Layout are associative. For the life of me I don't know what they're seeing that I'm not. In my mind Layout is a very useful tool for exporting images of the SketchUp model and, if the model is actually complete and no further revisions are expected (a very rare occurrence in my business), a useful tool to output 2D views with dimensions and annotations. But for a 3D model or a model that will go through numerous revisions, I don't see how Layout's dimensions would be useful.
