The issue I am encountering is that although I can get the robot model to load perfectly in RViz, when I attempt to take the same file and put it into gazebo, the “Drive Wheel and Tire” components, which are affixed by continuous joints, and those parts that use a mesh (“Lidar spinner base” and “lidar spinner”) spawn at (0,0,0) instead of their proper location.
When viewing the frame file generated by “ros2 run tf2_tools view_frames” the components seem properly connected.
I was going to paste all my code here, but it is too long. My hope is that somebody has had a similar issue before and can describe what they did to fix it.
thanks in advance for any help, as this has been a real head-scratcher for me.
