Can't create harvest-able custom props?

I have followed the instructions on creating destructible props as described here:Converting Assets into Props - and while my prop will destruct by shooting it (and it shows the FX_Death animation, it will not take damage from a pick-axe, and will not drop resources. Does anyone else have this problem? I have stated several new maps and example projects and followed the instructions line-by-line slowly making sure I’m not missing anything. WHat do I do to make a prop destructible with a pick-axe as well as shooting it?

After struggling with this for several days I finally managed to find what the issue was - I had all the blueprint and static mesh settings exactly right all the time - the issue was in Island Settings. There is a setting for Pickaxe Destruction that can be set to None, Default or Instant. It was set to None. Setting it to default solved the problem.
