I load my own .stl model into the project and I want to know which files/parameters to adjust to make my model usable. Thank you very much.

I recommend to go through this tutorial from Gazebo to learn about the Surface plugin and how to modify its parameters.

Hello, I got everything worked. But now I am trying to add my function to the repo but I am not sure which is the main root file that everything starts from. Can you please show me that or something like a hierarchy of the program repo? Thank you very much.
