I try to load in my xacro file a dae from relative path of on of my package:

<model name='tag0'>
  <pose frame=''>-0.125 0.1 0 0 1.57 0</pose>
  <static>1</static>
  <link name='body'>
    <visual name='tag0'>
      <geometry>
        <mesh file="package://model_gazebo/meshes/Marker0.dae" />
      </geometry>
    </visual>
    <self_collide>0</self_collide>
    <enable_wind>0</enable_wind>
    <kinematic>0</kinematic>
  </link>
</model>

When I use the dae 's absolute path, it works properly, but with the package way to load, there are no errors but the mesh file is not loaded.

How could I integrate my dae according to the package folder

Edit: Here is the tree structure of my project:

There you can see that it should be:

<mesh filename="package://urdf_tutorial/meshes/l_finger_tip.dae"/>

Can you try changing this to filename in your case?

Thank you for the answer. Unfortunately, I still have the same trouble. The relative path seems to be correct but the mesh file doesn't appear.

Just to be sure - do you have a ROS package named model_gazebo in your workspace?

No I don't. How to install it ?

Please note: the snippet @xavier12358 shows is SDF, not URDF.

@gvdhoom what do you mean? In my case, I use it in my world file.

Ok, I think I understand now - if you use an absolute path to your file, you don't need to have a ROS package with the mesh files etc. so everything works, but when you want to use a relative path to your package, you need to have it prepared in your workspace package. A good example would be this repository: https://github.com/neobotix/neo_simul... and it's models/robots folders. Another option you can try to check out are the end notes in the "Try it for yourself" section there:

Find and download a new mesh on 3D Warehouse. Make sure the mesh is in the Collada (.dae) format.
Put the mesh in the ~/.gazebo/models/my_robot/meshes, creating the meshes subdirectory if necessary
Use your new mesh on the robot, either as a replacement for the chassis, or as an additional <visual>.
