Translating heighmap creates offset between collision and visual
When using the <pos> tag inside the <heightmap> to get my heightmap aligned with my coordinate system of choice, it appears to be translating correctly when I open the client, but when I place an object on the heightmap, it is as if the collision frame did not translate.
This portion of the world file looks as follows. There appears to have been a similar issue that was resolved a few years ago (http://answers.gazebosim.org/question..., https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/com...), but I still seem to be exhibiting the problem.
Any ideas? I am on Gazebo 7.5, installed from binaries.

I am wondering if what you're experiencing is related to this issue: https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/issues/245/heightmap-visual-is-offset-from-collision
