i can’t find setting like brush setting / Surface setting in details

and finally i create cube from Geometry and i find all setting i want

question is , what different between cube etc… from Basic and Geometry?

Hello,

The meshes stored in Basic are all static meshes, which do not support geometry editing such as using subtractive brushes and vertex editing. Static Meshes | Unreal Engine Documentation

In Geometry, you are using BSPs, which you can read more about here: Geometry Brush Actors | Unreal Engine Documentation

Have a great day
