I have some basic instructions on how to install it in the README: https://github.com/mcevoyandy/blender_urdf_visualizer#blender-addon-setup

Could you provide more info on what your setup is and where the instructions are confusing so that I can offer more help and improve the documentation?

I have encountered some problems. Can you send me a copy of the data you tested. Bellow is my data and result.I didn't load ros file and loaded urdf file only.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<robot name="multipleshapes">
  <link name="base_link">
    <visual>
      <geometry>
        <cylinder length="0.6" radius="0.2"/>
      </geometry>
    </visual>
  </link>

  <link name="right_leg">
    <visual>
      <geometry>
        <box size="0.6 0.1 0.2"/>
      </geometry>
    </visual>
  </link>

  <joint name="base_to_right_leg" type="fixed">
    <parent link="base_link"/>
    <child link="right_leg"/>
  </joint>

Sorry, per the README it was not made to handle primitives. The package is for trouble shooting meshes exported from CAD packages.

I understand. Thank you very much.May you give me your test data?

The robot in the gifs is ABB Yumi. Any open source robot description package whose URDF does not contain primitives and uses STLs should work.
