Hi, I have a building exported from an architectural design package which is built using a lot of static meshes, I’d like to import this and use it as a level, the problem is I need to be able to get data about the individual meshes so selecting “Combine Mesh” won’t work for this as at runtime I have to be able to highlight individual components. Can I import an .fbx with N meshes and just be able to drag them into the level as a group?

Thanks in advance

In case optimisation is the least of your worries, you could batch export them from your 3d application, make sure all the pivots of the meshes are at 0/0/0.
then after import select all the meshes in the browser and you can basically paste the whole building.
