From here you see various options:
* Render Collidable Mesh: A checkbox that controls whether the grey geometry is drawn.
* Render Non-Collidable Mesh: A checkbox that controls whether the light blue geometry is drawn.
* Render Bounding Box: A checkbox that controls whether the bounding box is drawn.
* Enable backface culling: A checkbox that controls whether polygons facing away from the camera are drawn. (See example below)
* Bounding Box: Six sliders that let you control the bounding box used by this zone, you can CTRL+Click on the values to be able to manually type in a value.
* Render Volumes: A checkbox that controls whether eqg volumes(watermaps) are rendered (s3d volumes/watermaps are never rendered).

This is a visual example of backface culling enabled which proves useful for being able to see in zone detail for some indoor zones.

The tools let you switch between three different modes of operation: NavMesh Generation, Connections and Testing.
#### Lets generate an initial NavMesh, scroll to the bottom of NavMesh Properties window and click on Build All NavMesh Tiles.
