Detect Type: detect the LOD type of the object being validated (only works if the object is set to be a LOD)
Type: LOD to validate object for
Warnings Are Errors: count warnings as errors when evaluating the results
Operators
Validate: run validation functions on the selected object
Process
The process is not infallible, the methods are rather simple, and only check attributes that can be validated efficiently, it may not detect obscure issues.
for every LOD type is validated by the GENERIC ruleset at least
special LOD types are subjected to specific rulesets
Rulesets
GENERIC
Errors:
mesh contains n-gons (faces with more than 4 vertices)
mesh has materials with non-ASCII characters
mesh has vertex groups with non-ASCII characters

Warnings:
mesh has more than 2 UV channels
SHADOW
Errors:
mesh contains holes or is not manifold
mesh is not triangulated
