Hello,

I have exported some models from Blender to Collada. They had a certain pose offset from the origin.

In the world file I set an pose offset 300 300 -20 0 0 0 . For some models it works, and for some not. In the example below my_ground is compensated for the offset and the other model not.

I have started gazebo in verbose mode, but could find any errors or warnings other than for some material warnings

[Wrn] [ColladaLoader.cc:1747] Unable to add material[Color_243_6103-material]

The example world file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<sdf version="1.4">
  <world name="default">
    <include>
      <uri>model://ground_plane</uri>
    </include>
    <include>

    </include>

   <model name="myWorld">
      <<pose>300 300 -20  0 0 0</pose> 
      <static>true</static>
