3D Board Outline does not update after Push to 3D

I'm working in EAGLE/Fusion360 for years. The software is getting better but there are some issues. I will try to describe my issue so Fusion can be improved.
- I have PCB designed in Fusion360 ECAD for example of dimensions 100x50mm.
This was created using MCAD -> ECAD Create Linked PCB based on MCAD sketch, but then I immidiately break link with MCAD in ECAD.
(Not valid design - only for this demonstration purposes:)
- Using Push to 3D for the first time, creates new 3D instance with outline, copper, components, silkscreen etc fetched from 2D ECAD PCB.
- Then, I change components location, copper etc and board outline to 100x60mm, save and Push to 3D.
- 3D model updates everything except board outline, what is very, very weird and produces strange results.
I think there should be "Re-associate Derived Outline" or "Replace Board Outline" checkbox in Push to 3D popup, but I don't have that checkbox:
Also, to get around this I have to break the link and create new 3D PCB, but that creates another issue in Fusion360 - I can not delete the first 3D PCB from directory, so I end up with a lot 3D PCB files in directory - which creates mess. The first PCB states that it is "Not referenced by any other designs":
but despite that - refuses to be deleted:
