Draw. Connect. Make it yours.

Ultimate Utility Networks is a standalone Unreal Engine 5.8 authoring plugin for editable overhead cables and fencing. Draw routes in the viewport, reuse your own meshes and materials, or generate editable splines from GeoJSON line data.

Build directly in the viewport

Use New, Extend, Join, Node and endpoint snapping in a compact or full editor panel. Place upright supports at controlled intervals and connect multiple attachment points with adjustable static sag. Routes remain ordinary editable spline actors.

Your assets, your finish

Choose support and span Static Meshes, forward axis, scale, pivot offsets and per-slot material overrides. Included starter content provides original timber poles, cables and cabinets plus adapted Poly Haven CC0 chain-link fencing, PBR surfaces, two Blueprint route presets and a demonstration map.

Generate from geographic lines

Import GeoJSON LineString and MultiLineString data using WGS84 with a local origin, local metres or Unreal centimetres. Filter string attributes, control altitude and world offset, and inherit a selected route's style. Import is additive and undoable. The included GeoJSON fixtures are synthetic examples.

Included

• Runtime route actor and editor authoring mode, with full C++ source.

• Seven meshes, two editable Blueprint styles, nine materials and nine material instances.

• Thirteen 2K PBR textures and an editable utility showcase.

• Illustrated user guide, synthetic GeoJSON fixtures and a standalone Windows playable demo.

Scope and requirements

UE 5.8 / Windows. No Road Tool, GeoScape, Blender or subscription is required. This is static visual authoring: it does not simulate electricity, utility flow or cable physics, generate collision, drape routes onto terrain or provide a persistent shared network graph. Join aligns endpoints without merging actors. GIS support is GeoJSON only; no direct Shapefile, raster or CityGML import and no arbitrary EPSG reprojection. WGS84 conversion is a local approximation within 10 km of the chosen origin.

Public-domain content

Supporting art includes Modular Chainlink Fence, Rough Wood and Concrete Floor 02, freely available under Poly Haven's CC0 licence. Source credits, hashes and adaptations are included with the plugin. These inputs remain public domain and are not claimed as original Hungry Ghost art.

Try the tool before purchase. The standalone demo includes free flight, three inspection views, cable sag and pole spacing controls, and reset. Extract the full ZIP and run Windows/UtilityNetworksDemo.exe. Editor spline authoring, custom asset selection and GIS import are features of the commercial plugin in Unreal Editor.
