"Get Dimensions" function/Blueprint node for StaticMesh assets

[KVogler]

Let’s say that you want to spawn an object with the right offset so it fits exactly next to another.

So just spawn the object, get the size and move it then.
I made a “linear stairs” brush that spawns a cube, scales it to the appropriate step dimensions and moves it into place.
All meshes are created, then scaled and moved…
I also made a Fasade system that follows the same route. (See screenshots at the end of the post)

Here I scale an object to absolute dimension, regardless of its initial native size:
(The pivot needs to in the center for this to work, but my assets account for that)

I need to check the size of the main mesh along the forward axis used by the spline, to make sure my auto-tile feature that figures out how many meshes to add over the length of the spline automatically work

In this case, create the first mesh, examine it and then run the loop from there (minus one tile).
