Navmesh > Navmesh Draw Mode sets the draw mode for the Navmeshes. There are three states, click multiple times to cycle between modes. The draw modes can also be cycled through by pressing the "W" key or by clicking on the buttons in the tool bar

This mode draws all the navmesh objects in their normal space and z sorting.
Useful for a quick look, and to see if the mesh is underneath or inside of world geometry.

This mode draws the navmesh on top of the rest of the world objects, ignoring z order.
This mode is very useful for most editing as you can see and easily select the whole mesh.
It can be disorienting, especially in multi-leveled cases, zoom in and rotate around the area you want to work with.

Navmesh > Draw Cover toggles an advanced draw mode for cover.
Cover edges will be drawn as geometry as high as the cover value specifies.
Black boxes are drawn on either side of the cover edge to show if that side is open.
A white color is max cover height and may draw taller than the ceiling of the area it is in, this is normal, it means that the cover here is a wall and can’t be used as crouch regardless of height.
When Select Edge and Draw Cover are toggled on, hovering over a cover edge will cull the cover so the edge can be seen and manipulated more easily.
