Syntax

class UModelComponent :  
    public UPrimitiveComponent,  
    public IInterface_CollisionDataProvider

Remarks

ModelComponents are PrimitiveComponents that represent elements of BSP geometry in a ULevel object. They are used exclusively by ULevel and are not intended as general-purpose components.
