Issue with Complex Collision Mesh and collisions display

Hi,

I’m seeking assistance regarding the utilization of the “Complex Collision Mesh” option within Unreal Engine.

I’ve set up a model designated to be used as “complex collision mesh” for a static mesh object. Then, I’ve enabled the ‘Use Complex As Simple’ option.

In the static mesh window, the complex collisions seem to match the model specifically created for it :

while in the editor, the collision display changes :

I have two questions:

  1. Why this difference in display? Does this imply that the complex collision mesh doesn’t work?

  2. What is the difference between using the complex collision mesh and creating custom collisions?

Thank you for your insights.
