Not able to detach

[SaailN]

I wanted to create a temporary joint with respect to ground. So using gazebo_ros_link_attacher I was able to attach model object with ground(world model) but not able to detach it.

Any updates?
rosservice call /link_attacher_node/attach "model_name_1: 'unit_box_1'
link_name_1: 'link'
model_name_2: 'unit_sphere_1'
link_name_2: 'link'"
Above script does work for attaching the object to ground.
rosservice call /link_attacher_node/detach "model_name_1: 'unit_box_1'
link_name_1: 'link'
model_name_2: 'unit_sphere_1'
link_name_2: 'link'"
But this script fails to detach the object from the ground.

I was facing a similar problem earlier while trying to attach a tool to a support and, after some time, position the robot correctly, attach the tool to the robot and finally detach from the support. I only figured it out because the tool would detach from the robot correctly but not from the support, so the problem was that the support was a static model. After setting static to false in the sdf of the support, everything worked.

I guess the world is also a fixed model, therefore a possible solution would be to attach the model to a not static object. It could be a small box with a huge mass, so it would probably not move and not even being seen depending on where you put it.

I can only propose to put another object on top of the floor that is very heavy and try to attach/detach from that one. I say this because I remember having some issue with the floor being 'special' somehow, I don't know why. But it has been a long while from when I had the opportunity to look back into this package. Sorry.
