The video shows using that with Blutility.•

I have a blutility that spawns hierarchical instanced static mesh components but have had trouble finding a decent way of saving them since they get reset by moving the blutility and doesn't save with the level.
I don't want to use construction script as I want to make sure it doesn't run any code when starting the game.
It does work to select my blurility with it's spawned components and convert them with your instance tool, but I run into problems when I want to add more instances later, having to convert everything back to meshes before instancing again is going to be tedious. I tried selecting the actor to add them to but it all HISMAs are located in different actors and doing it one by one would be too much work for what I'm trying to do.
Thanks!•

[MENTION=766]Sitrec[/MENTION], I think Prefab might not be the "right" solution/workaround for the blutility issue you encountered.
I posted my test blutility setup regrading spawning HISMC instances via blutility on your another post (

Prefabs seems like they would be perfect for better handling blueprint functionality in the houses I'm building, my solution is very wonky so I look forward to replacing them with your Prefabs instead as soon as it's released.•

[MENTION=702]Nate[/MENTION]: 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.)

Hey there
It's looking pretty interesting!
I have two questions:
- Can we store Foliage Actors in a Prefab?
- When do you plan to release it?
I'll keep an eye on this thread, keep up the good work!Last edited by Yun-Kun; 06-03-2017, 11:53 AM.

Hi [MENTION=32515]Yun-Kun[/MENTION], thanks!
Foliage Actor is not supported, currently there're 3 explict non-supported actor class: Group Actor, BSP Brush and Landscape, since those actors have special logic embed in core unreal editor which is hard to support without touching engine code. Foliages mostly works on Langscape and BSP hences is not supported.
I plan to put Preab Tool on itch this weekend.
