Mesh editor not working?

WildSnake2001 · January 27, 2019, 3:19pm

Hi!!!

I’m trying to get into the unreal engine 4.21 editor for the first time and I just tried to change the meshes from the test project “RealisticRendering”. When I select the couch for editing it, I correctly go to the editor but no tab “Mesh Editing” is shown (only “Toolbar”), so that I cannot edit any meshes.

I used the documentation from this page:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/…icMeshGeometry
and I expected such a “Mesh Editing” tab.

Do you have an idea what I’m doing wrong? Is this a bug on this version?

Hi, i meet the same Problem, did you already have a solution?

It works for me on ue 4.23 Preview with Unreal Studio. Maybe you’re not using an Unreal Studio project. From the yellow box “The Static Mesh editing mode described on this page is currently only available in Unreal Studio Projects…”

On Unreal Engine 4.24.2, I needed to enable “Mesh Editor” in Plugins and restart Unreal Engine.

That’s the old plugin which they scrapped last year. The new one is the “Modeling Tools Editor Mode” a few below it.
