### Summary

Hello guys

I started an UEFN project with “blank” template in UEFN, deleted every thing and started from scratch besides : island\_settings

I built my whole map without testing the building, just navigating in the world with my character in uefn local session

But to my surprise i’m not able to build

I want to build on my custom mesh built in UEFN or blender, landscape created on UEFN and also on fortnite props

I followed online tutorial to build on my custom props with creating Building prop blueprint with activating Structural Support options, you can see all my Blueprint settings in uploaded images

I hide my landscape (the green layer in my images) and tried to build directly in on my custom mesh but still doesnt wokr

You also have my island settings in images

I saw people talking about “blocking build to prop” but cant see any option for that

I created a new project with blank template and i was able to build but i cant see why

Thanks guys

Hey @cobuura,

From my experience, this is the best flow for making custom meshes that support player builds:

1. Create a Blueprint and select the Building Prop option.
2. In the Blueprint editor, select your mesh
3. Enable ‘Is Player Buildable’
4. Enable ‘Do Not Block Building’
5. Enable ‘Structurally Support Overlapping Actors’
6. Compile your Blueprint
7. Drag your Blueprint in
8. Build on it!

Hi.

The issue was also resolved [here](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/how-can-i-allow-building-on-top-of-a-custom-cube-in-uefn/2448817/12), but in a different way.
