I created my own arena shape, as in the docs and placed two pawns but their RayCast3D is not colliding with any tile. The tiles are there though ...
My shape is almost flat

massive move radius, and invincible

More info on GridMaps

Current system

To make the game map, Node3D Area have 2 nodes: MeshInstance3D Terrain which is the game map model and Node3D Tiles, which is a parent containing MeshInstance3Ds, each representing a tile on the game map.

Making a new map is tedious because you have to first mode the base map, then create tiles to cover all possible positions.

Using Gridmaps

While creating a MeshLibrary, another MeshInstance3D can be added (as a child?) for every mesh. This way, when a mesh is added into the GridMaps, this applies to both the mesh model and the tile.

While a relatively recent feature, it should be theoretically possible to define a 3d grid as a navmesh, let it pull any move cost or obstacle modifier from the object in that space and then return the route.

It isn't as performant as a hand crafted A* implementation, but it's also a core component of the engine rather than running interpeted gdscript files. It should scale better if for any reason someone wants to do a map with many units or complex movement rules.
