Hi @TAURD ,

I understand from your question that you have never used rviz2 before.

So with that presumption, here is the method to “Add” elements in Rviz2

1. Launch rviz for ROS2: command is just rviz2
2. Once launched, maximize the rviz screen so that you can see all the panels in the rviz window.
3. Once maximized, on your left panel, at the bottom you can find four buttons : Add, Duplicate, Remove, Rename
4. Click on Add button to bring up elements window.
5. Scroll down the menu to find and add RobotModel and TF

Screenshot attached for info:

Please take some time to get yourself acquainted with the interface.

Regards,
Girish
