Hello i want to transform an URDF file into a SDF file. (I am using Ros fuerte)

What am I doing wrong?

john@john-K53SD:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulatorgazebo/gazebo$ ./gazebo/bin/gzsdf print /home/john/fuerteworkspace/sandbox/miurdf/01-myfirstyo.urdf

Warning [parser.cc:348] Gazebo SDF has no gazebo element Error [parser.cc:263] parse as old deprecated model file failed. Error: SDF parsing the xml failed

The command should be $./gazebo/bin/gzsdf convert your.urdf

And if you get another error, try sourcing the bash file: $source setup.bash from gazebo

!!!! EDIT:
I remember on older Gazebo (~1.0) versions I used to do it like this:

source setup.bash, ~/path/gazebo$ source setup.bash

rosrun gazebo urdf2model -f yourmodel.urdf -o oldgazeboformat.xml (changes the urdf to gazebo model)

then

gzsdf print oldgazeboformat.xml > yourmodel.sdf (from gazebo model to sdf)

Hope it works.

Hi, I am trying to convert my urdf to sdf format. I tried the your edited commands. THe rosrun command did generate a xml file. But the gzsdf does not work. It says missing robot element in the xml file .
