Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-234752)

Steps to Reproduce

Open the editor, make sure the "Geometry Script" plugin is active.
Create a new BP based on AGeneratedDynamicMeshActor.
On "Event On Rebuild Generated Mesh", generate a simple mesh (I used the "Append Box" node).
Place an instance of that BP in the editor world.
Try to convert the generated mesh to a volume by switching the editor to "Modeling Mode" then choose XForm->Convert.
In PIE, open the console and type "show volumes". Notice that you can see the generated volume in wireframe.
Now modify the BP to call "Create New Volume From Mesh", and create the volume in the editor world (I had to expose GetEditorWorld() to BP via a C++ helper for that to work)
In PIE, open the console and type "show volumes". Notice that the volume wireframe is missing.
Use "show collision" or use the Chaos Visual Debugger to verify that the volume exists in the world: it does indeed.
