Cannot load create.urdf.xacro in ROS jade about turtlebot_create

[skohlbr]

The create.urdf.xacro file just contains a macro for instantiating a create model, but does not call it. The intended use is to include the create.urdf.xacro file in your model and then instantiate it like so:

<xacro:include filename="$(find create_description)/urdf/create.urdf.xacro"/>
<create />

The macro is used in the Turtlebot setup if the appropiate environment variables are set for instance from here: https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot/blob/indigo/turtlebot_description/robots/create_circles_kinect.urdf.xacro

Thanks. Now my issue is the plugin isn't finding
[ERROR] [1453505874.317392841, 0.330000000]: Unable to find geom [base_footprint_collision_base_link]

But that is another issue. The reduced model is loading for me.
