Parts that share a footprint share one 3D model, so LM7915CT and LM7805CT show 'LM7815CT' engraved

Hydrogen 1.0.705 · Adom Bridge 2.1.185 · kicad-bridge 1.0.104 · fusion-bridge 1.13.83 · altium-bridge 0.2.91 · adom/core 4.15.3 · adom-wiki 1.8.11 · Windows 11 · KiCad 10

What I did: exported a Cloud Library to KiCad with LM7815CT, LM7915CT, LM7805CT and GBU806G (library lib_8ehqzjsmgn, "Amp Power", 2026-11-06).

What happened: the three regulators share one footprint (TO-220-3_Vertical), and so they also share one 3D model, lm7815ct-etched.step. In KiCad's 3D viewer the LM7915CT and LM7805CT show "LM7815CT" engraved on the part.

Expected: each part keeps its own etched model (or the shared footprint carries no model and each symbol's footprint instance points at its own STEP), so the part number on the chip always matches the part.

Schematics and the board are fine; only the 3D labels are wrong. Screenshot: the AI's check of the exported footprint files.
