To output only the gridded elevations (DEM_Z) the command would be :<br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files Include </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> DEM_Z</tt><br>
<br>
Alternatively, the <font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> command may be used without options to add a prefix to all check files or specify a location in which to write the files. If <file_prefix> is omitted or ends in a “\” to indicate a folder, the .tcf filename (without the .tcf extension) is prefixed to each check file. <prefix_list> can include a folder path that is normally set to the check folder. See the examples below for this subtle difference.<br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files All</tt></font> <font color="green"><tt>! writes all check files with no prefix to the same location as the .tcf file</tt></font><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> <tt>C:\tuflow\check\2d</tt> <font color="green"><tt>! writes all check files to the folder “C:\tuflow\check” and prefixes with “2d”</tt></font><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> <tt>C:\tuflow\check\ </tt> <font color="green"><tt>! writes all check files to the folder “C:\tuflow\check” and prefixes with the .tcf filename</tt></font><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Write Check Files </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font> <tt>C:\tuflow\check </tt> <font color="green"><tt>! writes all check files to the folder “C:\tuflow” and prefixes with “check”</tt></font><br>

=Tips for Visualising Check Files=
Depending on the size of the model, the check files may contain a large amount of data, for example the _grd_check file may contain thousands or millions of cells. As a modeller you probably won't inspect each cell to ensure that the data is value, however you may want to view this for the entire model. Thematic mapping or styling the input layers can be used in your GIS software to do this.
