Revision history [back]

Gazebo cannot find the STL files and therefore searches the database, which can take a few minutes.

You can either specify the absolute path in the model file, or set the GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH to find the "models" folder. It's usually:

export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH ="~/.gazebo/models"

Have a look at this tutorial.
