Altium Designer - updating 3D model after board has been laid out

Is there a way to update the 3D models from the libraries after the fact? I found that I can update most of the properties of the model EXCEPT the 3D model. I have laid out the board, but since then I have added a 3D model to the library and haven't found a way to update the footprint to include the 3D model.
Thanks.

With the PCB open, go to the library, and in the PCBLIB viewer, right-click the part and select Update PCB With Selected.
Also, make sure the mechanical layers (or wherever the model is) are visible in the PCB view (particularly in 3D).
