Eitan, Here attached the yaml files I used for the test. I tried unsubscribing and resubscribing the inflated_obstacles topic within rviz, yet the inflation is still there after resubscribing. I also tried subscribing the unknow_space, and here are the results: /move_base/NavfnROS/NavfnROS_costmap/unknown_space, no message can be received after subscribing; /move_base/global_costmap/unknown_space, no message can be received after subscribing; /move_base/local_costmap/unknown_space, although messages received, I didn't see anything shown on the screen. http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/file/n2440742/yaml.tar.gz yaml.tar.gz best regards xiaojun -- View this message in context: http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/Inflation-remain-in-rviz-tp2397864p2440742.html Sent from the ROS-Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
