| Navmesh | Toggles the display of the navmesh within the Viewer. |
| Show Walkability Map | Not currently implemented.
FUTURE: If the navmesh is displayed, the drop-down enables you to view the navmesh as a heatmap. This mode enables you to view the walkability values baked into the navmesh in the style of a heatmap illustrating the values across the navmesh. |
| Walkables | Select to display the walkables used when the navmesh was generated. Use this option to visualize how objects of type Walkable affected the navmesh generation. |
| Material Volumes | Select to display of material volumes used when the navmesh was generated. Use this option to visualize how objects of type material volume affected the navmesh generation. |
| Static Obstacles | Select to display static obstacles used when the navmesh was generated. Use this option to visualize how objects of type static obstacle affected the navmesh generation. |
| Exclusion Volumes | Toggles display of exclusion volumes used when the navmesh was generated. Use this option to visualize how objects of type exclusion volume affected the navmesh generation. |
| World | Select to display the navmesh in the world view. |
| Status | Reports the status of the pathfinding navmesh including the download process of retrieving the navmesh data from the server.
FUTURE: Status text will also report on the status of the server-side navmesh re-generation including when the navmesh is dirty, baking, or clean. |
| Characters.... | Click to display the Pathfinding characters window. |
Edit Tab
| Unfreeze | Click to switch from the default FROZEN state to UNFROZEN state. In the UNFROZEN state, you can move permanent objects and to edit the terrain. |
| Linksets | After switching to UNFROZEN mode, click to open the Pathfinding Pathfinding linksets window. |
| Freeze button | After making the desired changes to permanent objects and/or terrain, the user will use the Freeze button to switch back to FROZEN mode.
FUTURE: Upcoming changes to the simulator will also re-generate the navmesh when a user switches back to the FROZEN state.

Test Tab
To specify the starting point of the test character path, hold down the <CTRL> key and click the left mouse button in the Viewer window.
To specify the ending point of the test character path, hold down the <SHIFT> key and click the left mouse button in the Viewer window.
| Character Width | Use the slider to specify the width of the test character, ranging from 0.1 meter to 2 meters. |
| Character Type | Specify the character type of the test character. |
| Clear Path | Click to clear a path generated and displayed in the Viewer. |
