Hi, everyone!

I’m newbie at ROS, URDF, Rviz, Gazebo... I’m learning about these topics for research. Running Ubuntu 18.04, ROS Melodic Morenia, RViz version 1.13.7 and Gazebo 9.12. I’ve build a model on SolidWorks 2018 and used the sw2urdf plugin to create a urdf file and export the meshes .STL from assembly. Now I can spawn the model on Rviz and Gazebo, but the model appears with a wrong orientation and some links in a different position from the original assembly. I’ve tested some changes in the URDF file, but without success. I’ve tried to use the joint control on Rviz, but the GUI doesn’t appear. How can I fix the wrong position links and orientation from the model? How can I use the joint control GUI?

My URDF file and display.launch
