glmNavMeshCreator
glmNavMeshCreator command provides a way to create a NavMesh File (.gse) from a set of Maya meshes.
glmNavMeshCreator [-outputFile string] [-meshList string] [-crowdUnit int] [-navMeshType int] [-maxStepHeight double] [-agentRadius double] [-minClearance double] [-maxNavSlope double] [-keepGreatestConnexZone bool] [-connexZoneSurface double] [-doubleSidedGeometry bool] [-voxelWidth double] [-voxelHeight double] [-tileSize int] [-minRegionSize int] [-mergedRegionSize int] [-maxEdgeLength double] [-maxEdgeError double] [-maxVertsPerPoly int] [-detailSampleDist int] [-detailSampleMaxError int] [-erosion int]Flags
| Long name (short name) | Argument types | Properties | Description |
| -outputFile (-of) | string | mandatory | File path where to write the NavMesh file (.gse) |
| -meshList (-ml) | string | mandatory, multi-use | List of the meshes to process |
| -crowdUnit (-cu) | string | Crowd Unit to use ( 0 stands for millimeters, 1 for centimeters, 2 for decimeters, 3 for meters, 4 for inches, 5 for feet, 6 for inches ) | |
| -navMeshType (-nmt) | string | 0 for Voxel based NavMesh creation - 1 for Maya mesh based NavMesh Creation. If set to 1 only the agentRadius flag is required | |

Return Value
This command returns true or false if it has succeeded or failed. When computation is done, the process automatically creates a Terrain Locator with the exported .gse file loaded. The input geometry used to generate the NavMesh is also mapped to the Terrain Locator as ground geometry.
