Chaos drives a skeletal mesh, so the static system split was not drivable on its own. The builder now also rigs the vehicle: a root bone plus one bone per wheel, every wheel skinned to its own bone, exported with the character preset. SK_Vehicle_Sedan imports with SK_Vehicle_Sedan_Skeleton (508 triangles). Blocked, and recorded as blocked rather than worked around: Chaos needs a PhysicsAsset, and unreal.PhysicsAssetFactory in 5.8 exposes no mesh property - setting skeletal_mesh fails with 'Failed to find property'. Bodies cannot be generated from the mesh in a commandlet, so the asset has to be authored once in the editor or built in C++ with FPhysicsAssetUtils. Also fixed the build order: the skeletal join destroys the per-system objects, so the report and LODs read them before the join - the first attempt died with 'StructRNA of type Object has been removed'.

Rules
- Every
.blendsaves with a real-world metric scene scale. No exceptions; scale drift is the main source of import defects. - Named export presets only. Record the preset name and its settings next to the asset that used it.
- Textures enter as a documented source (author, licence, source URL) and are listed in ../THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
- Reference photography is never committed and never shipped. It is evidence, not content. Licensing is not a gate for local private development, but anything that would derive from a reference in a shipped asset needs a licensing decision before release.
.blendfiles are LFS-tracked and lockable; pull before editing.
