Let me give additional comments to my last post.

For doing this, Choreonoid provides a useful function. When you select a
BodyItem in the ItemTreeView and press "Ctrl + R", Choreonoid reloads
the model file and the new model file is immediately reflected to all
the views including the scene view. You can use it to confirm if your
editing result is correct immediately after you do some edit in the text
editor. I always use this function when I edit model files.
