Hi,
I used the SolidWorks to URDF Exporter in order to create the URDF with its STL files from some simple volume shapes (cylinder and box). I also created the XML file but after starting the Unreal Editor, I get the following error:

error

Please, can you help me?

Hi @henry-tra,
I am currently having this same issue. What was your solution? I looked though the CustomMesh docs but I was still unable to fix the error.
Thanks

I was able to find a solution for this issue just in case anyone else comes into this issue.

  1. I took a mesh that was designed in SolidWorks and had to save it as an STL.
  2. I'm not sure if SolidWorks could save ASCII STLs, so I first saved each part as STLs.
  3. I imported the STL meshes into Blender to then export it as an ASCII STL.
  4. Configuring the XML file by setting the paths to the location of these ASCII STLs then fixes this issue.
