These commands can be bound to a key in a config file for faster workflow. For example, Left 4 Dead (L4D) has nav_mode.cfg.

Mesh generation
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| nav_mark_walkable | Mark the current location as a walkable position. These positions are used as seed locations when sampling the map to generate a Navigation Mesh. |
| nav_clear_walkable_marks | Erase any previously placed walkable positions. |
| nav_generate | Generate a Navigation Mesh for the current map and save it to disk. [[
|
| nav_generate_incremental | Run the generation process from walkable markers instead of on the entire mesh. Newly created areas will usually connect to preexisting areas.
 Warning: Using it will delete all JUMP areas and also some random connections scattered around the map. Use it only in the beginning of the nav creation process. |
| nav_generate_incremental_range <Integer> | Generates nav mesh in range specified (units?). The center of the is defined by the walkable mark. |
| nav_auto_build_area | Build out high-precision areas around the edit cursor and create them. |
| nav_save | Saves the current Navigation Mesh to a NAV file. |
| nav_load | Loads navigation mesh from the current map's NAV file. |
| nav_analyze | Loads the Navigation Mesh for the current map. [[
|
| nav_max_view_distance | Modify the distance used to test visibility for all nav areas when generating.
 Tip:The default value (6000) is extremely inefficient for open, large maps and will generate bloated file sizes. Setting it to a value like 2000 will make generation much faster and take up way less file size. |
Selection commands
| Command ! | Description |
|---|---|
| nav_add_to_selected_set | Add current area to the selected set. Usually the area selected is the one pointed at. |
| nav_add_to_selected_set_by_id | Selects the nav by area number / id. This is useful for reports in the console regarding UpdateBlocked and possible flow errors. |
| nav_begin_deselecting | Start continuously removing from the selected set. |
| nav_end_deselecting | Stop continuously removing from the selected set. |
| nav_begin_selecting | Start continuously adding to the selected set. |
| nav_end_selecting | Stop continuously adding to the selected set. |
| nav_begin_drag_deselecting | Start dragging a selection area. |
| nav_end_drag_deselecting | Stop dragging a selection area. |
| nav_begin_drag_selecting | Start dragging a selection area. |
| nav_end_drag_selecting | Stop dragging a selection area. |
| nav_toggle_in_selected_set | Selects the nav mesh area that the gun in-game crosshair is pointing at. This command is typically bound to a key for sake of convenience. For example, nav_mode.cfg file found in the L4D config folder binds this command to the Z key. |
| nav_clear_selected_set | Clears selection of all selected nav mesh areas that were visually highlighted. In other words, this command de-selects the nav mesh areas selected. |
| nav_flood_select | Selects/highlights all nav meshes that are connected, starting with the nav mesh that the in-game gun crosshair is pointing at. This does not mean that all nav mesh areas are selected. |
| select_with_attribute | Selects/highlights all nav mesh areas marked with one attribute specified. |
Editing commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| nav_delete | Deletes the currently highlighted or marked area, or selected set. |
| nav_delete_marked | Deletes the currently marked Area (if any). |
| nav_split | To split an Area into two, align the split line using your cursor and invoke the split command. |
| nav_subdivide | Divides a selected set or the area that the crosshair is hovering over. |
| nav_make_sniper_spots | Chops the marked area into disconnected sub-areas suitable for sniper spots. |
| nav_chop_selected | Chops all selected areas into their component 1x1 areas |
| nav_merge | To merge two Areas into one, mark the first Area, highlight the second by pointing your cursor at it, and invoke the merge command. |
| nav_mark | Marks the Area or Ladder under the cursor for manipulation by subsequent editing commands. |
| nav_unmark | Clears the marked Area or Ladder. |
| nav_begin_area | Defines a corner of a new Area or Ladder. To complete the Area or Ladder, drag the opposite corner to the desired location and issue a 'nav_end_area' command.
 Note:Areas created through this method will bidirectionally connect to premarked areas. |
| nav_end_area | Defines the second corner of a new Area or Ladder and creates it. |
| nav_connect | Creates a one-way connection from a marked area to the second Area. To make a two-way connection, also connect the second area to the first.
Note:In a selected set nav_connect will try to bidirectionally connect the first selected area to every subsequently selected area. |
| nav_disconnect | Removes connections between a marked area and highlighted area.
Note:In a selected set nav_disconnect will try to disconnect connections between the first selected area and every subsequently selected area. |
| nav_disconnect_outgoing_oneways | Disconnect all outgoing one-way connections for a highlighted area, or selected set. |
| nav_splice | Makes a joint area between a marked/selected area and a highlighted/marked area. |
| nav_corner_select | Select a corner of the currently marked Area. Use multiple times to access all four corners. |
| nav_corner_raise nav_corner_raise <Hammer units> |
Raises the selected corner of the currently marked area or selected set. |
| nav_corner_lower nav_corner_lower <Hammer units> |
Lowers the selected corner of the currently marked area or selected set. |
| nav_corner_place_on_ground | Places the selected set, selected corner of the currently marked area, or the marked area itself, on the ground. |
| nav_shift <x, y, z> | Shifts the selected areas by the specified amounts. |
| nav_begin_shift_xy | Begin shifting the Selected Set. |
| nav_end_shift_xy | Finish shifting the Selected Set. |
| nav_simplify_selected | Temporarily forces nav_split_place_on_ground to 1, keeps nav_coplanar_slope_limit_displacement and <nav_coplanar_slope_limit> to at least 0.5, and nav_snap_to_grid to 1. It then strips analyzed data and subdivides the selected areas into 1x1 area, performs nav_generate_incremental on them without generating any areas, and finally recombines them before reselecting the resulting nav areas.
|
| nav_save_selected nav_save_selected <name> |
Stores a selected set in a KeyValues file at maps/<map name or <name>>_selected_<number up to 1000>.txt.  Bug:If <name> exists, the file is saved with nav_save_selected instead of <name>. [todo tested in?] |
| nav_merge_mesh <filename> | Imports nav areas from the specified KeyValues file in maps/.
|
Attribute Modification Commands
Attributes modify the nav area with commands that modify NPC behavior, such as a forced crouch, following a specific path, disallowing spawn, etc. Many attributes also have their own command, such as nav_crouch. The command "mark CROUCH" is the same as the command nav_crouch.
