Hi,

I made a simple blueprint that has a static mesh and a point light that has its Mobility set to static.  
When I place this blueprint in the level and hit build lighting the BP’s point light do not affect the mesh.  
If I place a point light directly into the scene it will affect the static mesh of the BP.  
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thank you 🙂
