rviz can't visualize /voxblox_node/mesh about voxblox HOT 2 CLOSED

A little info as to why you need to source your workspace as the doc's were out of date.

The mesh is actually of type voxblox_msgs::MeshBlock. Voxblox use to output a standard MarkerArray, however this form of visualization means you have to output the entire mesh every time any part of it changes. This meant when running on a robot and visualizing on a laptop we were saturating our wifi connection to display even relatively small areas.

To correct this issue we made a custom message that supports partial updates only changing the mesh where needed. To use this custom message you have to build voxblox_rviz_plugin and have it in your workspace when running rviz.

I wasn't sourcing the corresponding setup.bash in the terminal that runs rviz
