Hi, I am currently working on a demonstration project to show indoor navigation with models from AEC sector. For this I built up a navigation mesh that I would like to show while the game is running. I want to create an widget with a button that allows me to display the navigation mesh on runtime. Is there any debug command or sth similiar that i could use? I am working with blueprints. Best regards and thanks in advance for the support! Nils ---

You can press F8 key while playing in editor By this you will eject from the player character and navigat the world like you do in editor then press P key to view nav mesh And when your done you can press F8 again to posses character ---

Bumping this question. Want to do something similar for a game we’re making. My initial impression was to somehow get the Nav Mesh data and draw it ourselves, but don’t know where that is. Will update if I find anything. ---

No idea how to show all the navmeshes though. I have 3 for 3 different agent sizes but… yea. ---

CycleNavDrawn command will change which navmesh is rendered, still while ejected with F8. ---
