The RCM file, the photo-textured mesh, is mandatory, I can't uncheck it, but the 3D point cloud, the RCS, is available, so I'm going to check that, especially if you want your point clouds. And finally, give the ortho photos and elevation maps. Those are GeoTIFFs. GeoTIFFs are TIFF files with information inside them, metadata, that lets you know where the ortho photo's located in space or each pixel has an elevation value in the elevation map. It's a good practice to check all three if you don't know down the road what sort of files you're going to need. When you do download this model back down to your desktop you can actually look at these files. So, for example, in the 3D dishes on our desktop that's been downloaded locally we have the RCM already, the 3D dish is right there, but we also have the RCS file, the point…
