Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py builds /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap: sun, sky, the hero facade on the building line, six site meshes imported with collision, and a player start on the north sidewalk. Tools/ue_import_site.py imports the site FBXs; terrain, road and sidewalks use complex-as-simple so a simple hull cannot ramp over the kerbs. Art/blender/site/export_site_fbx.py exports one FBX per object so each can carry its own collision. Reset (R) and pause (Escape) join the character and the input context: reset restores the spawn transform and clears momentum, pause is a real game pause that releases the cursor. DefaultInput.ini captures the mouse on launch. Three placement defects found by measuring the imported actors rather than trusting the plan: the spawn was on the wrong sidewalk because the FBX flip inverts north, a mirror I added to the exporter double-corrected an already correct sidewalk, and the street meshes only carry part of the north walk - the rest is terrain.

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.
