External content type based on OData is invisible in SPD2013 (but visible in a web browser)

I am trying to connect external list based on OData to Outlook, I could create it, but can't map its fields to Office Item type because it is invisible in SPD2013.

I've made screenshots of all the steps to repeat the issue.

**STEP1. Create BDC model. You can skip this step and download bdcm file here**

1. Create new SharePoint 2013 app project.


2. Add new Item / Content Types for an External Data Source

3. Add test OData service info.


4. Select the only entity - Regions


5. Press the Deploy button (to generate WSP where we can get bdcm file), like it shown in this article.

At the end of this step I have BDCMetadata.bdcm file, which I get from the myproject.wsp\MyFeature\External Content Types.

**STEP2. Import the model to Business Data Connectivity Service.**

 1. Go to the Central Administration \ Application Management \ Manage Service Applications \ Bussiness Data Connectivity Service \ Import.


 2. Choose my bdcm file and press the Import button.


 3. After  that I can see my model in Web Browser.

But I can't see it in SPD2013. 



**What I tried**

- press the refresh button, trying to make a clean installation of the SPD to another machine. Result is the same, I can't see it.
- create External list using a web browser (Settings \ Add an app \ External list). I could see external content type 



and even could create list, which worked well.



I can see this external list in SPD2013 too, but all the same I can't see the external content type.

**Does anybody have any ideas?**
Every suggestions are very appreciated.

**UPDATE1**: Maybe there is another way to map external content type to the Office Item type without using SPD?

PS: I am not sure if it is a right place to ask this question. If somebody sure it is better to place it in the SharePoint 2013 - Using SharePoint Designer, InfoPath and Other Customizations thread. Let me know.
