Add new model to gz (gazebo)

PX4 Autopilot
1

Hi
Can someone tell me how to make a new model like “gz_test_model”?

I have created a folder in /Tool/simulation/gz/models

I have copied the model from standard_vtol

How do I get to make px4_sitl gz_test_model? in what file(s) should I add to make this model.

Thanks.

Do you have comment on this @Jaeyoung-Lim ? I think this would be a pretty frequently asked question, and I dont understand this part either yet :man_shrugging:

@junwoo0914 @Rasmus you can follow the instructions in the documentation: Gazebo Simulation | PX4 User Guide

Hi Thanks I have a look.

I made it work, somehow :slight_smile: just using the gz_standard_vtol template, before messing around with it.

Hi@Jaeyoung-Lim, I want to add a non-wing model to see its position (like a ball or a cylinder), can I get his local position this way? Is there a better way?
