I am working on a vehicle simulator project and am responsible for the simulation world. We're using Gazebo and have all of our infrastructure in ROS Hydro on Ubuntu 12.04. We have many point cloud maps of roadways we want to simulate in Gazebo to interface with our system, but currently have no way to create high-fidelity DAE world files from this LiDAR data. Several members of the team have worked with pycollada, Google Sketchup and Google Earth, SolidWorks, and even trying to create a .dae from scratch with no luck. How do you do this? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for your help

I'm new to Ubuntu and ROS and I'm trying to use your tutorial to get myself started with rviz and ROS visualization capabilities. Ultimately I want to read from SICK LiDAR and visualize the point clouds generated from that.

I am encountering errors trying to run the tutorial here, and hoped you could help me.

First in my ros_workspace I created a package using_markers

Then I created a file points_and_lines.cpp and pasted your code into it

I then copied points_and_lines.cpp into an srv folder in the using_markers package using roscp

This all executed without a problem

Where I began encountering issues was when I tried to execute rosmake on the file as instructed in the tutorial. 14/15 operations execute, but the 15th fails issuing the warning WARNING: Skipped command line arguments: ['points_and_lines.cpp'] because they could not be resolved to a stack name or a package name.

As I said I am new to Linux and ROS and I imagine I have made some strange syntax errror; have you ever encountered this before and how can I resolve it?
