Description

Context
World Partition - Hierarchical Level of Detail (HLOD) system uses custom HLOD Layers to organize large amounts of Static Mesh Actors and generate a single proxy mesh and Material.

Problem
The problem is that when trying to build HLODs in a World Partition Level that contains Packed Level Actors and/or Level Instances, it often fails to include them in the HLOD with a warning. The only workaround at the moment is to either build HLOD until it works, or not use Packed Level Actors / Level Instances. Ensuring the actors within the Packed Level Actor / Level Instance to the correct HLOD layer also has no effect.

Steps to Reproduce

1.) Download and open repro project provided by licensee uploaded in ticket
2.) Open World Partition Editor; Window > World Partition > World Partition Editor to have as an aide in observing the actors
3.) Start a HLOD build via Build > Build HLODs or the World Partition Commandlet - [Link Removed]
4.) In the outliner open folder HLOD > hlod_OpenWorld_mesh
Observe: Two HLOD actors are present, double clicking on them will zoom into the bags that were successfully built
Expected: Five HLOD actors to be present, two from the level instance, two from the static mesh actors, and one from the packed level actor
Note: If there are five HLOD actors present, run another HLOD build until there are two. Most of the time it will result in two HLOD actors
