Hi Daniel,

Rounded edges is not supported in V-Ray materials in Unreal. How are you importing your CAD files: with Datasmith or with VRScene? If you are using a VRScene there is somewhat of a workaround:

  • you set your material to have rounded corners in Max for example
  • export a vrscene and import it in UE
  • in the Content Browser locate the material that have those rounded edges applied
  • Right click on it and enable Render material from .vrscene (V-Ray for Unreal)
  • Render the scene and you should see your model have rounded corners

Unfortunately there isn’t a way to visualize the rounded corners effect in the UE viewport in real-time but it is something that we have in mind to implement in the future.

Best regards,
Alexander
