I believe gltf models also have this issue

[Quanta-Naut]

I am trying to recreate this issue in the 3d viewer by creating a new story under stories

import { CadViewer } from "src/CadViewer";

export const U1WithGlbModel = () => (
  <CadViewer>
    <board width="10mm" height="10mm">
      <chip
        footprint="soic6"
        name="U1"
        cadModel={{
          glbUrl: "https://modelcdn.tscircuit.com/jscad_models/soic6.glb",
        }}
      />
    </board>
  </CadViewer>
);

export default {
  title: "test",
  component: U1WithGlbModel,
};

but when I check it out on the localhost site I dont see the glb/gltf model

Please help.
