Hello,

The meshes stored in Basic are all static meshes, which do not support geometry editing such as using subtractive brushes and vertex editing. Static Meshes | Unreal Engine Documentation

In Geometry, you are using BSPs, which you can read more about here: Geometry Brush Actors | Unreal Engine Documentation

Have a great day
