It is not possible to add new URDF robots in different path of models

I am giving my robotic class using this amazing tool in python library, but I found a problem. In an exercise, I want that student use a specific urdf, but It is not possible to view the mesh because Mesh.filename use an absolute path àbspath to the models of the toolbox. I know that this is the only error, because I change to the specific path and works, but I do not find which could be the best solution in the architecture of your code

Ok, so default to current folder, then fallback to the distribution. We are thinking about putting the models in a separate package, they make the RTB package very large and don’t change much. This won’t affect operation from user perspective.

I’ve worked out a solution. No more need for chdir. My modified version: https://github.com/kxxt/swift/ I’ll open a pull request soon.
