I'm trying to model a simple quadruped robot, and the legs contain four segments. Since the legs are identical, instead of duplicating the leg SDF inside the main model SDF file, is there some way I can model the leg once in a separate SDF file and "include" it four times in the SDF file for the "complete" robot?
The <include> tag can be used as a child of world
or as a child of model. It currently accepts 4 sub-tags: uri, name, pose, and static (used for specifying models as static). Ideally, there would be more options there, but that's all we have implemented so far.
Yes, there's a way, using the <include> tag as in this tutorial.
Thanks. I was almost about to say this didn't work, because the [docs](http://sdformat.org/spec?ver=1.5) don't mention <include> and therefore I didn't know how to name multiple inclusions of the same file, which is necessary or else Gazebo throws an error. However, [this question](http://answers.gazebosim.org/question/2764/passing-parameters-to-included-sdf/) mentioned how to use the <name> tag to solve this problem.
Is there documentation for the all the tag that Gazebo uses? http://sdformat.org doesn't seem to cover everything.
The main documentation is that on http://sdformat.org/spec. We encourage the community to improve the documentation making pull requests to SDFormat's Bitbucket repository, the changes there directly reflect on the website. See for example how this pull request updated the documentation for joint types.
