Saving as mesh from top level produces low refinement meshes

I have noticed an issue where if you right click on the top item in the browser and select to save as a mesh, the refinement is much lower than than the refinement selected. The high value exports a low mesh and a low mesh produces a mesh with so little triangles you lose dimensions and details.

If you instead right click on a component with all the bodies in it and select save as mesh you get a much higher quality mesh.

The same model saved from the top has about 3x less triangles than saved from a component.

I have attached some screenshots below so it can be more clear what I am referring to. The top 2 are right clicking on top and saving as mesh and the bottom 2 are saving from component.

In the screen shot you can see they are both set to high.

In your video you are right clicking on the component my issue is when right clicking all the way at the top. This is a good workaround but the bug should still be looked at by the dev team.

Thanks, you really saved my day, struggled a lot with a low res on a mesh, saving on body level solved the problem
