NavMesh Buttons

Main article: Nav Mesh

• NavMesh Editing: Toggles NavMesh mode

The following icons are from the Navmesh Toolbar:

• Select Triangles: Allows user to select Triangles in the navmesh.
• Select Vertices: Allows user to select Vertices in the navmesh.
• Select Edges: Allows user to select Edges in the navmesh.
• Standard View Mode: Navmesh is displayed normally.
• Transparent View Mode: Navmesh is displayed as transparent, making it easier to see the navmesh while editing.
• Navmesh Only View Mode: Hides everything except the navmesh. Useful for finding any errors in the navmesh.
• Test Pathfinding: Must be in Triangle Select Mode to use this. Right Click on a triangle and then Right Click on another triangle. A colored path is created showing you the path an actor would take.
• Balance for Optimization: Flips and creates edges that simplify the navmesh (useful for getting rid of "spider webbing"). Be sure to check your navmesh for errors afterwards, sometimes this command gives unwanted results.
• Find Cover Edges for Current Cell: Finds cover in all navmeshes in the loaded cell.
• Finalize Current Cell's Navmeshes: Finalizes loaded cell's navmeshes.
• Open Navmesh Generation Dialog:
• Open Advanced Navmesh Generation Dialog:
• Flood Fill: Select a triangle on a navmesh and click this icon to select all triangles in the navmesh.
• Inverse Flood Fill: Select a triangle on a navmesh and click this icon. All triangles NOT on the same navmesh as the selected triangle will be selected.
• Delete Selected Object:
• Deselect:
• Cut Selected Object: Select an Object by holding CTRL-ALT and then Left Clicking on the object. Pressing this icon after a selection has been made will attempt to cut the navmesh around that object. Results may vary and it might be easier to cut the navmesh by hand instead.
• Find Triangle: Brings up the Select Triangle dialog.
• Create Triangle/Quad: Creates a triangle when three vertices are selected (or a quad if four vertices are selected).
• Drop Vertices: Drops selected vertices to the ground.
• Edge Rotate: Rotates a selected edge. Useful for when you want to change the shape of a triangle or get rid of "spider webbing".
• Edit Cover for Edge: Brings up the Edge Cover dialog only if the selected edge is on the edge of a navmesh. The dialog will not come up if the edge is found inside the navmesh because you cannot have cover on an internal edge.
• Merge Vertices: Merges selected vertices.
• Toggle Water: Select the triangles you want to set as water and press this icon. The triangles should change color.
• Toggle Preferred Pathing: Select the triangles you want to set as preferred and press this icon. The triangles should change color.
