[Radiance-general] set overflow

[Jack de Valpine]

Hey all,

There are a couple of things here. You should probably try to take a 
look at the geometry and see if there is any extra/duplicate geomery. 
Doubled up geomery can oftern be a cause for a set overflow like this. 
You should be able to control a lot with -r.

Guilio's suggestion is also an excellent one. I have found that I can 
deal with much more complex geometry sets with obj2mesh. And it looks 
like the file size of the rtm is typically smaller than a corresponding 
oct file.
