Not able to import the model into Gazebo

[DhanushJa3]

I have copied the sdf files from the model/abstract folder into ~/.gazebo/models where the models that need to be imported into gazebo are usually stored. But, when I try to drag and drop the model into the gazebo world (from insert option inside gazebo), I'm not able to do so. Please help me with this.

P.S: I'm getting started with ROS and gazebo, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

Hi there!

Thanks for taking an interest in my project!

First and foremost: are you using Gazebo standalone or are you using ROS with Gazebo? Because each requires very different approaches.

If you are using Gazebo standalone, have you followed the tutorials here? Specially getting started.md. As you have written that you "copied the sdf files from the model/abstract folder", have you also copied the files from the models/omni_wheel folder?

If you are using ROS, you don't need to do any of that. Just follow any ROS getting started tutorial and you'll know what to do.

Best of luck!
