How to support customized topic message type in 3D pannel?

[Elaine87]

My topic type is livox_ros_driver/CustomMsg. livox_ros_driver/CustomMsg data package format, as follows :

std_msgs/Header header uint32 seq time stamp string frame_id uint64 timebase uint32 point_num uint8 lidar_id uint8[3] rsvd livox_ros_driver/CustomPoint[] points uint32 offset_time float32 x float32 y float32 z uint8 reflectivity uint8 tag uint8 line

I want to show local Ros1 bag file(eg: lidar0_2021-05-23-16-00-41_0.bag has topic type livox_ros_driver/CustomMsg) in 3D pannel.

Thanks!

To show messages in the 3d panel, the messages must be in one of the supported datatypes. These are documented in the Supported display types section of our 3d panel docs: https://foxglove.dev/docs/panels/3d

If your message is in this datatype, you can use Node Playground to write a transformation in Studio to convert from your format into one of the supported formats. You might find it easier to do this conversion on your robot and publish a conforming message.
