Attributes

Road models can be instantiated using the <model:Road> tag. The following attributes are supported.

id (string)
- The model ID string (used by libgazebo to identify models).
- Default: (empty)

xyz (float tuple, meters)
- Model position (x, y, z, in meters).
- Default: 0 0 0

rpy (float tuple, degrees)
- Model orientation in Euler angles: roll, pitch, yaw.
- Default: 0 0 0

gravity (bool)
- Enable/disable effect of gravity on this model
- Default: true

enable (bool)
- Enable/disable the model's bodies (so it doesn't fall, for example)
- Default: true

hardness (float tuple)
- Set spring-damper parameters for contact joints
- Default: dInfinity 0

friction (float tuple)
- Set friction coefficients
- Default: 1 1

color (float tuple)
- RGB color.
- Default: 0 0 0

textureFile (string, filename)
- Texture image file.
- Default: empty

textureSize (float tuple, meters)
- Size of the texture image when projected onto the ground plane (m).
- Default: 2.0 2.0

roadFile (string, filename)
- Road data filename.
- Default: empty

roadSpacing (float, meters)
- Nominal spacing for points in the roadFile.
- Default: 5 1
