The Collada world exporter is a world plugin that automatically generates a Collada mesh consisting of the models within a world SDF file. This plugin can be useful if you'd like to share an SDF world without requiring an SDF loader.

1. Add the following lines as a child to the <world> tag in an SDF file.

<plugin
  filename="ignition-gazebo-collada-world-exporter-system"
  name="ignition::gazebo::systems::ColladaWorldExporter">
</plugin>

2. Run the world using

ign gazebo -v 4 -s -r --iterations 1 WORLD_FILE_NAME

3. A subdirectory, named after the world, has been created in the current working directory. Within this subdirectory is the mesh and materials for the world.

Refer to the collada_world_exporter.sdf example.
