  1. Includes textures in the .kmz rather than requesting them.
  2. Computes and includes in the .kmz, an initial LookAt

Cesium View Notes

The Date Range:
     The default date range is 1830-2000 and the current date is set to 1930 so it moving the time slider may be necessary to see buildings on particular blocks.

The View:
    The pitch and angle of view are fixed, but the distance is calculated so as to show all chosen Blocks. Thus a List of Blocks geographically separated might display very small building models.
