I suppose your model will be in .3ds format. I suggest you follow this procedure.

Convert to .dae or .stl using MeshLab (or any software). I prefer converting to .stl using MeshLab
In the <size> or <scale> tag of your model file specify the size of the bounding box (or cylinder or sphere).
Specify the pose of bounding box in your world through <xyz> and <rpy>
If you are using .stl specify the material in <gazebo> (beware of materials available on fuerte)

Find a sample file in this page (named table.urdf)

Hope this helps!
