While laying road using "" tag first road tag element was only visible in gazebo camera topic visualization and also in rviz ,Succeeding road tag element are not visible in visualization window (ie. i tried laying lanes above roads using road tag,lanes was not visible). I tried loading the camera through world file and through GUI .same issue in both version 7 & 8.

Hey, is this issue still being worked on? I am using the sphinx simulator for my project that uses gazebo 7 to load the world for it. I am experiencing exactly the same issue. Is there a temporary workaround. It is halting progress on my project.

update: Maybe it helps In fixing the bug, I found out a workaround: if I create a model with road material applied on it and make it static by including 1 in the model sdf file and lay the model under the road, the camera passes through but is able to see the model. For some reason every road after the first one defined in '.world' is see through, that is any object put under it is visible.

No one is working on this issue as far as I know.

It's inconvenient, but you could use boxes with road textures.

the issue should be fixed in gazebo9: https://osrf-migration.github.io/gazebo-gh-pages/#!/osrf/gazebo/pull-requests/3182/page/1

you try gazebo9 or backport the fix to gazebo7

Is your fix also related with #2561 @iche033 ?

[iche033]

the fix was about making roads appear in camera sensors. Not sure if it's related as I haven't checked against lidar visualizations in gzclient.
