 Original NWN tilesets like "Rural" don't have this kind of issue and despite looking not so great, it works perfectly.

+==== Important note ====
+For DOA, the game and toolset unfortunatelly often crashes when displaying the AABB - which is propably related to the fact this tilset is broken.
+===== Organize properly the plceables =====
+As it was mentioned in the [[en:modulebuilding:pathfinding-introduction]], when path is being found in the tileset, the character starts to move and it looks like it tries to avoid **placeables** on the route to the destination.
+There is several rules of thumb about properly placing the placeables to not have the character stucked on the route.
+==== Do not put placeables across multiple tiles ====
+This is probably not an issue with not-solid placeables like flowers, but it is an issue with solid placeables like trees, mushrooms etc.
+It may confuse the pathfinding mechanism.
+**Good and bad position of the tree in tiles:
+**
+{{:en:modulebuilding:walkmesh-tree-good.jpg?300|}} {{:en:modulebuilding:walkmesh-tree-bad.jpg?300|}}
+==== Do not put two solid placeables with no space for the character ====
+This is the recipe for having the character stucked: Two solid placeables shall be not placed together with so small space that the character can't fit in between.
+**Good and bad positioning of the Log and Tree:
+**
+{{:en:modulebuilding:walkmesh-placeable-close-good.jpg?200|}} {{:en:modulebuilding:walkmesh-placeable-close-bad.jpg?200|}}
+==== Do not put solid placeable right next to tile solid object ====
+Similar applies when you place big placeable so close to the tileset object (like naother tree od stone or wall) that character can't walk acrooss.
+In some cases it's not problem, but in another it is. Be cautious about this scenario and test the map if it works properly.
