Hi,

I want to add doors to the world that I have created in Gazebo. Basically I have modelled the entire house with furnitures and without doors. I want to add doors now. My plan is, for each door 1. Create an hinge - cylinder of radius 0.1 and length 0.2
2. Door that partially covers the hinge (as in real world). 3. A revolute joint along z axis at the intersection.

This is the code I use

<robot name="Work_room_door">
  <link name="hinge">
    <inertial>
      <origin xyz="0 0 1.125"/> 
      <mass value="0.5" />
      <inertia  ixx="1.0" ixy="0.0"  ixz="0.0"  iyy="100.0"  iyz="0.0"  izz="1.0" />
    </inertial>
    <visual>
      <origin xyz="0 0 1.125" rpy="0 0 0" />
      <geometry>
        <cylinder length="0.2" radius="0.05"/>
      </geometry>
    </visual>
  </link>

  <link name="door">
     <inertial>
      <origin xyz="0 0.2 1.125"/> 
      <mass value="5.0" />
      <inertia  ixx="1.0" ixy="0.0"  ixz="0.0"  iyy="100.0"  iyz="0.0"  izz="1.0" />
    </inertial>
    <visual>
      <origin xyz="0 0.2 1.125" rpy="0 0 1.57" />
      <geometry>
        <box size="0.4 .1 2.2"/>
      </geometry>
    </visual>
  </link>

  <joint name="door_hinge" type="revolute">
    <parent link="hinge"/>
    <child link="door"/>
    <origin xyz="0 0.225 1.125"/>
    <axis xyz="0 0 1"/>
    <limit effort="15.0" lower="-1.57" upper="1.57" velocity="1"/>
  </joint>

</robot>

When I run the command

roslaunch urdf_tutorial display.launch model:=door.urdf gui:=True

When I control the joint using gui that comes up, the door does not swivel around the hinge. Rather, it is still without motion. Please, help me with this. How can I make the door swivel around the hinge ? or is there any other method to do it ? Thanks!

seems to work as-is for me (axes may be off, but I'm not sure what you're going for). do you get any global status errors when rviz starts?
