Unfortunately, no.  KISYS3DMOD is hard coded rather than evaluated from
the 3D model path which would have been a better solution.  Eventually I
see the 3D models moving to an I/O plugin and a library table concept
similar to the footprint I/O plugin and library table.  This way we
could import 3D models in any supported format from any path or even a
github plugin.  For now your best bet is to use absolute or relative (if
possible) paths when assigning a 3D model to a footprint.  I know this
is less than desirable because neither solution may be portable to other
platforms.
