TROUBLESHOOT

Unrecognized File Type

If you have the error Unrecognized File Type, you need to update your Maya. Maya 2017 doesn't support drag & drop.

You will have to manually move the mhReset folder into the maya/scripts folder if you cannot update to Maya 2018 or new.

After you have added the files to the maya/scripts you can add this code to the Maya scriptEditor in a Python tab, and it will open the tool window.

from mhReset import launcher
launcher.window()

Missing Files

When installing more than one of the mhAnimTools at a time you might get an error saying Missing Files. You will need to restart Maya and install the tool that was not working.
