Ground plane tutorial correction #1417

Open louislelay opened 1 week ago

louislelay commented 1 week ago

Description

To verify the proper installation of IsaacLab, a test is performed using the script source/standalone/tutorials/00_sim/create_empty.py. As mentioned in issue #1265, the tutorial suggests that a black plane should appear, but none was initialized in the script, which could be misleading. Without the black plane, users might assume there is an error. To address this, I updated the script to ensure the ground plane is displayed.

Fixes #1265

While following the tutorials, I noticed that in the tutorial for creating an empty scene, the create_empty.py script also mentioned here was not supposed to generate a ground. So, rather than modifying this script to add a ground, it might be better to create a separate script to verify the installation.
