Empty 3D model

[s.speretta]

Is there a way to assign an empty 3D model to a part in EaglePCB 9.6.2?

With a previous version of Eagle, I managed to do it following the explanation in https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/assigning-empty-3d-model-to-part/m-p/8183755#M15102 but unfortunately, it seems not to work anymore on 9.6.2 (I am running the MacOS version).

In the 3D footprint editor, I set the size in the package inspector to 0 (sizeX, sizeY, and sizes) and (still in the package inspector) I see no 3D package. But, after I create a new version of the managed library, update the library in the PCB and finally send the PCB to  FUSION 360, the component still has a 3d package (the default box).

Hello @s.speretta,

I hope you're doing well. Would you be able to share the files for review?

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

I sent you the library and the schematic/PCB files by private message. Any luck?

Thanks @jorge_garcia  for the support. You answer solved my issues and I will paste it in here for eventual future use.

"In the library, this can be fixed by opening the 3D package and then clicking the remove 3D model button. Save the library and then go to your schematic and your board and update that library so that the models get updated."

This fixes all my problems but it took me very long to find the Remove 3D Model button: unfortunately, on a MacBook 13 inches running MacOS, the window size is just too small to visualize the button. Dragging the Package Explorer up a little allows seeing few pixels of the button enough to click it (but not to read the button text). An external screen otherwise is needed to be able to reach it. You can see below how the window looks like.
