Subject: Re: [ros-users] problems with simulated camera tutorial
I actually just now got it to work by using xacro:wge100_camera_v0, which I
noticed does approximately the same things as what is laid out in the
tutorial.

Another question, though: is there a way to make rviz update its list of
frames, etc, and update the robot model, without closing and reopening rviz?
At one point the reason I thought it wasn't working is because rviz just
wasn't updating the robot description.

Thanks,
Adam
