When I import a STL model in Gazebo 7 Model Editor I receive the following error:

"" is not a valid mesh file. Please select another file for [visual]

The file has been exported from SolidWorks in ASCII format. I have tried with several models.

Also no link appears in the Model tab

Any suggestions to why I receive this error and how to make the links work?

Setup:

• Gazebo 7.0 (ROS kinetic)
• Ubuntu 16.04

Edit 1:

I may have found a bug or two.

Even though the Uri for the STL file is in the text field in the Visual tab, then it gives me the error. If I browse to the STL in the exact same path, then it can now find it again.

Additionally, I noticed that when I go to the Link tab and enter a value for pose and hit Enter key, then it deletes both Uri paths in Visual and Collision.

Change x pose to 0.1 and hit Enter key

Error that the mesh file cannot be found

Uri to the STL is now empty
