Multiple A star grid in a single model

Is it possible to have multiple A star grids in a single model. For example: one for robot movement with specific node spacing and another for forklift movement with different node spacing and at different Z levels. The robot behaves differently compared to forklift in terms of rotation etc. I know I can use AGV/ path for modeling forklift, but wondering if two A star navigator is possible in a single model.

You can use the same A* Navigator with multiple non-overlapping grids at the same height or with overlapping grids if they are vertically separated enough (eg. >1metre).

How do I change behavior for these grids. For example: I want the bots not to rotate and move in right angles, while some other transporter to travel diagonally and rotate. These options were on the A star navigator and not on the grid.

Having two grids solves the different node spacing - not the other differences.
