Revision history [back]

rviz does not guess any transformations between robot parts, but strictly shows what is defined in URDF robot models. If the transformation between parts is not properly published, all parts will be shown on top of each other at the current fixed coordinate system's origin, which might look like some sort of 'auto alignment' in some cases. Could this be what you're seeing?
