Workstation rviz "Could not load model" Error
For the last couple of days I've been trying to run the preinstalled rviz virtualization demo from my workstation rather than the Turtlebot 2 Asus Laptop and have been unable to successfully load rviz on my workstation. When loading rviz on my workstation I receive the following error in the output:

I am using a Turtlebot 2 with a Kobuki base and Kinect sensor. I have installed the full desktop installation of Groovy in Ubuntu and I am able to get a result from "rostopic list" so my connection to the Turtlebot from my workstation is working. Can anyone point me to the fix for this?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: My apologies for the many postings, the Ask Your Question page kept giving me a 504 Gateway Timeout that did not confirm my question had been submitted. Once again sorry!
I still have the problem on the workstation I was using, I've since switched to a different workstation (physically different) with the same install and it worked.
Hi, I also encountered the same problem. Since I bought a complete set of turtlebot, which means it comes with a pre-installed ROS on turtlebot netbook (Asus), I found that I could load rviz with a correct turtlebot model on the netbook, but on the workstation I got the error message and could only see the model of Kinect. Therefore, I tried to find the difference. Here is what I found: 1. in /opt/ros/groovy/stacks/kobuki_description/meshes: turtlebot netbook: there are base.dae and wheel.dae workstation: there are main_body.dae and wheel.dae 2. If I copied base.dae to the directory on turtlebot netbook, there would be no error message and the kobuki base model showed, but in a very small scale. I guess the setups in base.dae and in main_body.dae are quite different. Is this because of two different versions of view_model.launch ...(more)
