I don’t think it’s possible that way around…

I mean I just want to use BSP objects to use the box brush, not switch a certain static mesh object to BSP

Ah, ok. There’s only the basic objects in the geometry area:

I don’t think you can use an arbitary mesh.

So, how can I get this set of options?

I’m not sure what you mean, you have it there, right?

That looks like a picture from an old version of the engine.

Just click ‘geometry’:

Actually nvm, I can just access them from the modes tab, thanks for the help though!
