You should set Global Options > Fixed Frame
however you normally do in RViz. This is typically the /map
frame or another frame that is fixed w.r.t. the world. The RViz documentation has good documentation on the implications of this.
The or_rviz
world frame defines which TF frame should be treated as the OpenRAVE world frame. This is typically the same as the fixed frame, so it defaults to the current value of Global Options > Fixed Frame
(this is what the <Fixed Frame>
option does).
Clearing your RViz configuration resets both of these values. If the OpenRAVE Markers
status keeps blinking, then you most likely have a TF problem. Are you sure that your fixed frame and world frame are both valid?
@Tastalian Did you figure out what the cause of this problem was?
Thanks for your detailed answer!
Unfortunately I can't tell you more on how this happened, as I haven't been able to reproduce the bug since I deleted my ~/.rviz
folder.
Well, I'm glad it's fixed - even if we don't know why. :smile:
I'm closing this bug for now. If you see the issue again, please post the offending .rviz
config file so I can reproduce it.
Hi there,
Running or_rviz for the first time, my "Global Options -> Fixed Frame" was already set to some value, and it generated the following error: nothing was showing in the vizualization, and in OpenRAVE Markers, the Status kept blinking between OK and an error message (sorry it blinks too fast for me to read it). The OK message is:
Changing Fixed Frame to a random value clears the issue and the model shows up.
After I removed my ~/.rviz folder, the problem stopped showing.
By the way, what value should be set in "Global Options -> Fixed Frame" ?
