Skeletal Mesh Merging is explained [here](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/working-with-modular-characters-in-unreal-engine?application_version=5.5), using a Skeletal Mesh Merge Param variable. But how can we merge a skeletal character mesh which is randomly configured (see screenshot)? @Rev0verDrive @vitalik
