# NavigationMeshComponent

A component that provides the navigation meshes an entity uses to find paths through a scene.

```
struct NavigationMeshComponent
```

## Overview

Attach a navigation mesh component to an entity to supply the walkable surfaces
that pathfinding relies on. Each [`NavigationMeshResource`](/documentation/RealityKit/NavigationMeshResource) in
[`navigationMeshes`](/documentation/RealityKit/NavigationMeshComponent/navigationMeshes) represents a baked region of the
scene that agents with a matching [`NavigationComponent`](/documentation/RealityKit/NavigationComponent) can travel across.

## Topics

### Creating a navigation mesh component

[`init(navigationMeshes:)`](/documentation/RealityKit/NavigationMeshComponent/init(navigationMeshes:))

### Accessing the navigation meshes
