Using a .dae file as the ground plane

I am looking to import or use a dae or other "common" 3D file format as a ground plane in gazebo. I am not sure how to go about this and what formats that gazebo will accept.

I have seen a tutorial on using a "dem" file as a heightmap but I am unable to get my data into this format. Any help you could provide would be very appreciated.

Thanks, badrobit

You can use your COLLADA file directly, this tutorial should help.

In adding you can also use your mesh a collision geometry but I would advise caution as I had some experience where this would glitch
