Hello, I am trying to create a terrain map that can be used in Gazebo. I have a ROS version of the Gazebo plugin. After some basic search, I found that "gzbuilder" is the utility that needs to be used to create terrain maps compatible within Gazebo. This gzbuilder utility is usually shipped (I presume) within a Gazebo source install for Ubuntu. However, I cannot find it within the ROS installation of the same. Could someone, please tell me how I can use gzbuilder if I have Gazebo for ROS installed? Alternatively, if you know how to create terrain maps for Gazebo, I would appreaciate that. Thank you, Ammar

So I figured it out. GzBuilder has been deprecated. Though Gazebo can accept COLLADA (.dae files). Therefore I just used MeshBuilder and converted the GeoTiff files that I had into .dae and was able to load it in Gazebo.
