The default shape is mostly used by people such as camokid11 and hobbnob who use it to create complex collisionmeshes without creating lag.
Unlike the other shapes the default relies on internal groups/shapes, and its collision mesh will be a combination of all the shapes/groups internal shapes. E.g. If you make a floor with 3 boxes, group them together and set it to default shape, the group will then have the combined collision mesh of the 3 boxes.
If the default shape group contains non-grouped entities(lines, faces,...) it will act as a box shape.
Benefits of the default shape
The default shape allows the user to create complex models that have accurate collision parameters, allowing for a more realistic experience.
In comparison to staticmesh floors the default shapes ensure a quick simulation startup, and usualy alot simpler collision mesh that will let the simulation run faster, while still allowing it to move freely.
Reasons why it isn't used
Many users are not aware of the default shape's potential, thinking of it as the same as the box shape.
