In gazebo, is there an easy way to attach my lidar model to an existing robot? What do I do if I need to attach the lidar at an angle? I followed this tutorial ( http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=gu... ) to build my lidar model. I tried changing the pose of my revolute to be at an angle, but can't seem to be able to make the lidar turn say tilted at 30 degrees. Instead, when I change the pose, the axis is off-center. Alternatively, I tried to use the magnet in gazebo to snap my lidar to a robot. I have seen videos of people having their lidars at an angle, so there must be a way to do this. Can you recommend an approach to this?

This appears to be a Gazebo only question, as it's about SDF and the tutorial you link does not include any ROS integration.

Please post this question on answers.gazebosim.org.

If you do, please post back here with a link to your Gazebo Answers question to keep things connected.
