This GIS check file layer is only written if a variable Z shape object (2d_vzsh) is used in the model. vzsh_zpt_check contains information on the elevation points that may change over time, the elevation change, final elevation as well as the trigger conditions.
Note that if using a variable Z shape, the map output type "zh" can be included in the Map Output Data Type == command to write the elevations over time. For example, the following command would output water levels (h), velocities (v), depths (d) and elevations (zh):
Map Output Data Type == h v d zh
