The Convert To Static Mesh node
When to use it
Rebuilds the incoming mesh as a real Static Mesh object and publishes its path, for the nodes and previews that want an engine asset rather than a mesh wire.
Writing back into the project asset the geometry came from is Bake Mesh. A result that needs a skeleton is Export To Skeletal Mesh.
The object is transient. It does not survive a graph reload on its own, and the node rebuilds it from the saved input instead. Press Convert, since nothing rebuilds on a wire change.
