Additional context
SDF is the models/worlds format widely used in gazebo and ignition robotics tools, there is already a way to export a model from blender in sdf format, and there are some efforts to facilitate creating datasets in SDF format using blender as here
Having an SDF writer would be a great addition to the gazebo community, while increasing BlenderProc popularity in the roboics community 🤖

October is approaching fast ;) If you want to get it merged before, I would recommend starting early.

Hey Max sorry for the late reply,

The reason I delayed this was because we are working on an **Autodesk Revit 3D projects ** to RMF Sandbox/ Gazebo pipeline ... the pipeline consists of two steps

• C# Revit plugin exporting object files plus meta data
• A set of blender python scripts that combines the meta data with the exported objects and export an RMF Sandbox/Gazebo digestible files.

Most of the work is in the second stage of the pipeline with the blender scripts, which I'm trying to take BlenderProc integration in the future into consideration while writing.

live update: right now I'm working on porting sliding doors :)
P.S. The project is private so far but I believe its going public at the end of this month .
