SSE A noob question: crafting stations and navmesh.

[Eferas]

I'm noob when it comes to editing world spaces and adding stuff with the CK. I managed to add a workbench to the Skyforge and a smelter to Falkreath and Riften, do I need to update the navmeshes now? Or I don't? And if I have, how? Thanks for your patience. :)

If your bench is placed at a spot where NPCs frequently travel across, then yes update the Navmesh would be a good idea. You have to open the navmesh tool (Ctrl+E) and manually edit the triangles around the new benches.

 

Remember not to delete any vanilla navmeshes, or merge any separate patches of navmeshs together. This is VERY IMPORTANT.

Mmh, I pushed them in corners so maybe it will be fine. Thank you.

I had to do it, but I managed, thank you again. :)

For something simple like this I wouldn't bother editing the navmesh which is difficult for the inexperienced and introduces compatibility concerns if this done in a mod that is going to be for a public release rather than a private edit. Using Navcuts instead would be my suggestion - quite a bit faster and far less compatibility concerns if you do it that way.
