When I'm following the tutorial, I meet a problem after creating my first model configuration.
In the following command:
mkdir -p ~/.gazebo/models/my_robot
I change the direction "~/.gazebo/models/my_robot" with my own file direction, because I don't find the file name of the given example.
After that, during the 'gedit' command for the 'model.sdf' file and 'model.config' file, I do the same action for gedit in the my same model direction.
Then the problem occurs, when I run the gazebo and try to find my_robot file in the "Insert" interface, I can't find the model direction which I set.
My model direction is: '/home/iclab/gazebo_models/my_robot'
But it didn't appear in the Insert list.

Now I can't find the model direction in the Insert interface, resulting I can't do anything with my model. I've been stuck in this problem for days, hope someone can help me. Thanks a lot!
## Update
I've try the method in [here](http://robotics.stackexchange.com/questions/1170/where-does-gazebo-set-the-gazebo-model-path-environment-variable)
I use
> sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
and add this
> export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=/home/iclab/gazebo_models/my_robot:$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH
My model locates in my_robot file. After I save the changes, I close and open gazebo again, but the Insert interface still remain the same:

I don't know what is going on here...
