Hi everyone,

I face some trouble to place a boat on a step to study its motor and steering.

This occurs from both sides of this catamaran-like boat

Seems that the hull is inside the step, is it an issue with the physic engine (default ODE) or the mesh ?

I launch gazebo through a roslaunch file and a test world.

Here is the part of the URDF file describing the hull :

    <inertial>
        <origin xyz="0 0 0" rpy="0 0 0"/>
        <mass value="38.718"/>
        <inertia ixx="16.283" ixy="0.008" ixz="0.458" iyy="19.728" iyz="0.0" izz="33.013"/>
    </inertial>

        <geometry>
