Hello all,

I’m trying to load static mesh files from project folder. I found this solution, I tried it but I think it work’s only on the construct phase : [https://unrealcpp.com/add-mesh-from-file/](https://unrealcpp.com/add-mesh-from-file/).  
Do you know if is it possible to do that and how ?

Thanks for your time.

Nness

In the example, I load assets at runtime from `/Game/UserContent`, which on disk is `(ProjectName)/Content/UserContent`. The example is in blueprints, but [here’s a guide for C++](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/Assets/Registry/).
