First of all, i am a hacky coder new to C++ and to the UE4 library. I am trying to import thousands of assets as blueprints. I don’t want a combined static mesh and I don’t want to hit okay every time. The USceneImportFactory is amazing! It creates a blueprint with all the static meshes oriented properly under a root and creates a sub folder for the static meshes but it requires you to press OK on a UI. Where is this menu outside of code? I’ve never seen it. I’m not sure why it isn’t easier to just skip the UI and go with these settings. I have tried two methods and they’re both really close but still not exactly what I want. I think it all comes down to
HierarchyType = FBXSOCHT_CreateLevelActors; but I don’t know how to get at that property.
I’ve also tried UE4Editor-Cmd.exe with a .bat file but I can’t find the HierarchyType
here’s the c++

This one is good but has to be generated to get the right output based on the fbx path

}
In the ImportSettings, make sure the slashes in the filename are forward slashes
and make sure to end each line with a comma
I know there is a solution but I can’t find any documentation.
– UPDATE — But still not complete
Okay, I figured out how to do my own import thus getting rid of AssetToolsModule.Get().ImportAssetsAutomated(newdata);
still have the confirm window

– UPDATE —
Found this window. Still can’t get it automated though.
