Hi, I am fairly new to Unreal, and I am following a tutorial on making speed lines in Niagara.

The tutorial is made in UE4 and when making he is speed lines he uses a button next to the mesh location to see the mesh in the viewport like you can see in the image below.

But in UE 5 I can’t find that button to show the mesh, does anyone know where to find it?

Hey @wesleyV! Welcome to the forums!

I believe what you are looking for in UE5 is Shape Location, which you can set to sphere.

I hope the above is the solution you need!

Hey @wesleyV! Welcome to the forums!

Thank you :smile:

I have a shape Location, but I can not see the mesh or turn it on like in UE4 :confused:

I fixed by turning on the particles, so I knew where they come from, so I could place it in front of the character in the blueprint.

I am also looking for the functionality to see the mesh of the 3D shape, like it was possible in UE4… Anyone knows how to?

There is no way to do that. UE devs have removed the debug draw from the shape location module. What a shame
