Are the export settings user-configurable?

Have you figured a way to overcome UEs 0,0,0 pivot issue? So if you export an entire scene/level all the separate meshes won't have their pivots offset in the editor.

Now all setting are by blender's default and default settings for UE import(Perfect for static meshes), but everything is possible, depends from needs. FBX settings could be exposed at preferences tab.

Please describe an issue more detailed, with an image maybe. I think you mean pivot space and world space for model(s). So in case of UEBok addon it is using dummy as pivotPoint for collection of objects, so i think if move it at 0,0,0 (world's center) in this case models will be exported keeping theirs positions.  theoretically should work.

PS: I think I understood your question. Yep with UEBok add-on you can export your props to UE, with proper pivots, place them roughly in editor and copy/paste into blender again, then assembly scene or level then  select all and copy/paste to unreal editor.  Because copy/paste could be used for different purposes and situations.

I'd recommend doing so, for the sake of I/O debugging in the very least.
