The MenuPart allows you to insert a site navigation menu anywhere in your site. It is a ContentPart so it can be dragged and dropped into any zone. It renders using Adapters so you can opt to hard-code it into your template.

PropertyDescription
MenuTitleDisplayModeControls how the given Title field is rendered (if at all).
MenuStartFromLevelMenuPart will recursively navigate up the site tree until it reaches a page with this specified level from the root. Negative values can be used to specify recursion limits relative to the current page. For example, -1 will cause only the pages that directly parent the current page to be shown in the navigation menu.
MenuShowSibilingsDetermines when sibiling pages are rendered in the navigation menu.
MenuDontLinkTopLevelDetermines if the top-level items should be a link or static text. You can set this to true to disable linking of the top-level items. This can be useful to render logical groupings in your navigation menu.
MenuFlattenTopLevelIf true, items at the top level are at the same list level as second-level items. This can be useful to render logical groupings in your navigation menu.

You can set various CSS classes on the menu items. 

Example: Using MenuPart Programmatically
<div class="noprint col-sm-3">
	@{
		var p = new N2.Web.MenuPart() {			
			MenuTitleDisplayMode = N2.Web.MenuPartBase.TitleDisplayOptions.None,   // do not render the Title
			MenuStartFromLevel = 2,
			MenuShowSibilings = N2.Web.MenuPartBase.SibilingDisplayOptions.Always,
			MenuDontLinkTopLevel = false,
			MenuFlattenTopLevel = true
		};		
	}
	@Html.Raw(new N2.Web.MenuPartRenderer(p).GetHtml())								
	@{ Html.DroppableZone("BelowNavigation").Render(); }
</div>
