Is there a common parent between static mesh and skeletal mesh in Unreal Engine?

I am creating a struct for my game in Unreal Engine. I was trying to make my struct universal for storing references to static meshes and skeletal meshes. My gut tells me there is a common parent between static mesh and skeletal mesh from there I could cast to the one I am expecting on my particular object(s). My question is if they do have a common parent, what is it? Otherwise, any other possible solutions would be appreciated.

Note: I am referring to the actual Static and Skeletal Mesh Objects NOT the Static and Skeletal Mesh Components/Actors

Solution

  • UObject

    From StaticMesh.h:

    class UStaticMesh : public UObject, public IInterface_CollisionDataProvider, public IInterface_AssetUserData

    From SkeletalMesh.h:

    class ENGINE_API USkeletalMesh : public UObject, public IInterface_CollisionDataProvider, public IInterface_AssetUserData, public INodeMappingProviderInterface
