In fact, I am currently working on the scene without rayfront. Is there a way 
to make rayfront generate one octree per imported geometry (I used 
rad-geometries, but the dxf-import would be ok, too)? If I try to oconv all 
my rad-files in one run, I get the famous oconv overflow ;-) So I created one 
oct per "object" (in fact per color) and have a instance file "model.rad" 
where I put all my octs together.

CU, Lars.
