Hi guys,

is it possible to distribute world models (incl. dae-files) and vehicle models in different packages? I've got the following package structure using Gazebo 2.2.3:

catkin_ws/src/model_package contains the *.world files including references to the respective *.dae files catkin_ws/src/robot_package contains the robot description as well as the respective controller,ros plugins and launch files

When i try to reference the world file of the model_package in the launch file of the robot in the robot_package via

<arg name="world_name" default="$(find model_package)/worlds/Road.world"/>

i obtain the error

Error [SystemPaths.cc:367] File or path does not exist[""]

Error [MeshShape.cc:64] No mesh specified

I assume, that the linked mesh cannot be loaded. The mesh itself is referenced like

<geometry>
    <mesh><uri>file://Road.dae</uri></mesh>
 </geometry>

Any suggestions? The world can be loaded from any launch file inside the model package.

Any suggestions? The world can be loaded from any launch file inside the model package.package. I just checked the GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH. It is set correctly to the directory, where both the world file and the dae-file are placed.
