Got it.
So, I forced the LOD in the picker:
But that didn’t do anything.
Then I examined the menu(s) further to see if I missed anything:
I saw another set of settings! So, I changed the LOD Import to “0” and changed the number of LODs to “1”.
THEN I hit “Apply”.
Had no idea there were another set of settings.
Thanks, @ClockworkOcean , for pointing me in the right direction!
