Hi Michael,

I am not sure what do you mean by "arbitrary meshes", but we @TUM have
written an rviz plugin that lets you display a message of type
TriangleMesh:
http://tum-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tum-ros-pkg/mapping/triangle_mesh/msg/TriangleMesh.msg?revision=448&view=markup
For the plugin itself please check out
http://tum-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tum-ros-pkg/mapping/triangle_mesh/
pkg.

cheers, D.
