Note: As Bethesda recently said in their latest Podcast, the latest Creation Kit update resolves reported issues with navmeshing. Recently they’ve discovered a change made to 1.5’s executable for support of the navmesh fix caused CTDs for users loading mods. As a result, they’ve removed the executable change in this beta update. For the navmesh fix, the team is currently investigating the issue.
