There currently is no automatic way. You can place octrees in the
"parts" directory in the project, and include them with the marker
substitution feature. This is slightly clumsy, and primarily interesting
for those parts of your model that contribute a lot to the complexity,
but probably won't change later. The details of the procedure are
more suitable for a different mailing list, though.

Future versions of Rayfront may offer to do this automatically.
