Equivalent to NavMesh.FindClosestEdge followup

Regarding:

Access NavmeshEdges data to get an equivalent to Unitys FindClosestEdge?

Hi Aron, I’m aware similar questions have been asked before, but could never be resolved completely. As you might be aware the inbuilt unity Navmesh comes with a functionality FindClosestEdge. This function can conveniently be used to detect e.g. walls etc that might be used for cover for characters or other things.

Thanks
