    I'm working on a project where the surface for which I want to create a NavMesh is created dynamically at run time, and it doesn't use prefabs, making using NavMeshSourceTag problematic. If I put a NavMeshSurface on the gameobject that dynamically builds the mesh and have it collect all, that works like a charm. However, only part of the area is visible at any given point in time, so I need to be able to update the NavMesh dynamically too. Doing so hangs execution unless I can find a way to do it asynchronously with a NavMeshSurface.

    Thanks in advance, and let me know if there's anything I can add that might help.

    I ended up moving some of the code from NavMeshSurface into a new version of LocalNavMeshBuilder, and thus achieve my aim, but I think it'd be useful for NavMeshSurface to be able to bake asynchronously.

    I'm running into a similar problem, would you mind posting the code to your custom LocalNavMeshBuilder?
