Prefab Tool - Prefab Support for Unreal Engine

Would be nice to have a import option where, when you import a fbx with multiple meshes, it automatically imports as a prefab, like in unity

Hi Luckasa, in Prefab Tool, a Prefab is container of actors, but not meshes. E.g. if you setup a house in level which contains all the furnitures/doors/windows/decorations meshes, you can store all those static mesh actors as one single Prefab to be resued in any levels.

@: Does this spawn the actors inside the Prefab when starting up a level at runtime, or are they actually saved in the level on disk and instantiated on load? (Blueprint Child Actors are created at runtime during startup.)

All prefab actors are saved in the level just like normal actors. One of the design goal of Prefab Tool is that there will be no runtime overhead when using Prefab.
