Is it possible to have multiple visual entries in an urdf link?

If yes, how? For me, it seems to only take the first entry.

The same would go for collision models and maybe inertia.

There was a discussion about this on the mailing list in the past, with a ticket submitted and newer more general ticket. It seems like it is implemented in robot_model trunk (and waiting for release in e-turtle?).

I can't seem to post these links correctly - they show up OK in the preview but look messed up in the answer?

I fixed the links for you. For some reason, the "add link" tool prepends an "http://" to things that start with "https://". You can see the error if you look at the actual markdown for the link. I usually just insert links as markdown and skip the GUI tool to avoid weirdness like that.

Ah thanks! I just can't get used to the syntax of the markdown here - thus the need to fall back to the editor tool.

The hacky/simple way is using the editor tool and then correcting the links in the source.

I think the short answer is no.

However, you can create a second link with the same origin that has additional properties.

I will do this for now. Seems a bit hacky to me as it is actually one part.

The released electric robot_model do parse multiple visuals. You can retrieve them using urdf::Link::getVisuals(const std::string &group_name). Please take a look at the code api.
