Hi Leonardo,

I've just tried the following,



   - roslaunch gazebo_worlds  empty_world.launch
   - rosrun gazebo spawn_model -file `rospack find
   gazebo_worlds`/objects/000.580.67.model -gazebo -model cup -z 2
   - rosservice call gazebo/get_model_state '{model_name: cup}'

   - rosservice call /gazebo/set_model_state '{model_state: { model_name:
   cup, pose: { position: { x: 0, y: 0 ,z: 1 }, orientation: {x: 0, y: 0.7071,

the model state seems to be as expected, not sure if I have the right steps
you are referring to in order to recreate the error?
thanks,
