1. Indicator Icons and Terms

The three icons that can be encountered while using the plug-in are shown in the diagram below. They represent: Inspection Failed, Inspection Passed, and Inspection Error. Generally, Inspection Failed is due to a a rule configuration error (e.g. a bug in the inspection script or a resource error), whereas Inspection Passed/Error represents two different result statuses of inspections whose rules have been carried out normally.

Rules： rules defined in ArtEase Group： the name of the group where the rule is pulled Scheme： a collection of rules set up on ArtEase Run checks: execute all selected rules

2. Function Introduction

The main interface of the Maya plug-in is displayed in the figure below. Its main interface can be didvided into three sections: Settings, Rules, and Result Display.

Settings Settings operations used for resource checking, including selecting rules for different project groups, different rule schemes in a project group, syncing new rules on the ArtEase platform, and cancelling accoung operations.

Rules This area displays the list of rules for the current group and scheme, categorized by their different modules. The list contains two types of rule: the first is one-click check rules (shown as checkboxes) and is suitable for rules that need to be checked frequently. The second is optional rules (shown as buttons, and not triggered by a one-click check), which must be triggered by clicking the check button separately and are suitable for rules that are checked less frequently or rules which alter resources. Additionally, Maya rules support custom parameters; the right-most input box is for custom parameters of rules.

Result Display This area displays the resources that were found to have errors after the last inspection, listed individually in order of the rules and attaching the details of the inspection's rules and causes of the errors.

3. Offline Mode

Entering Offline Mode Offline mode is designed for scenarios where you cannot connect to ArtEase. The plug-in supports reading and switching local rules. Follow the steps outlined below to enter offline mode.

Selecting Local Rules Choose "read local maya_rules.py file" when updating rules in offline mode. The corresponding rules file can be obtained from ArtEase by selecting the corresponding scheme in online mode. It is recommended to rename the rules in offline mode and put them under a set directory.
