Hello,
The model that I import as stl from SolidWorks is scaled in mm. When I visualize the model in gazebo it´s awfully huge. So I use Meshlab to rescale it.
However, upon launching gazebo dies instantly with the following error:
[gazebo-2] process has died [pid 5687, exit code -6]. log files: /home/fxm-lc/.ros/log/48312cc6-6942-11e1-84ee-c8600006c2de/gazebo-2*.log
Any suggestion are welcome, thank you very much.
While opening and re-saving is a feasible approach most of the time, it can occasionally lead to problems, like properties getting lost in the process (or even crashes, sometimes). Have you tried the scale tag as described here? If you're talking about gazebo .world files, these also support scaling the mesh.
Hello,
thanks for the both answers.
I tried the scale tag as described on the wiki but the error still occurred. I than tried to do it exactly as in the example and use the stlb format instead of stl and it worked.
I nevertheless wonder why doesn't it work with the normal stl ? (ROS/ gazebo should recognize both ASCII and binary formats, souldn't it?)
PS: btw, rescaling in SolidWorls also works
Did you try just exporting in m?
For more than guesswork, you should include the error messages from the logfiles.
