modelling floor with moveit

hi,

i would like to model an (infinite) flat floor such that moveit can't plan crashes with the floor. is that possible?

cheers simon

I don't know about infinite, but would a rather large square do? If so, add it to your urdf (then run the setup assistant again) so it becomes a static part of your scene. Or add it dynamically as a Collision Object.

hi gvdhoorn. thanks for your response thats how we did it in the end. its kind of disappointing that moveit only provides such a "hacky" solution

Why do you feel it is hacky? MoveIt is rather abstract, and has no native concept of a 'floor' (why should it). So adding appropriate collision geometry seems like a perfectly normal thing to me?
