Thanks Dinesh. I tried it, it appears like a curved road virtually. Is it possible to make it as straight road by giving any link parameters? Also I am not able to place my robot on this to run it.

Try running the following example world:

gazebo worlds/road.world

Here is the world's SDF file.

Thanks a lot Chapulina. I am able to insert this road from the command line by giving $gazebo .gazebo/worlds/road.world. But is it possible to get it directly in gazebo tool as a model like this(https://github.com/osrf/car_demo/tree/master/car_demo/models)? I need to add grass and trees into this. Any suggestion is appreciated.

You can choose models from the insert panel on the left, the Sonoma Raceway model already has roads and grass and all. There are models for trees, houses and others there too.

Hi, I got the solution in one more way ie following the process of adding a mesh into gazebo. Here is the link: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=import_mesh&cat=build_robot

Download a 3D road model in dae format and rename it into my_mesh.dae according to the code. Its working fine. Otherwise change the code according to the name of your dae model.
